We are living in a world owned by tech companies. People have 6 hours of screen time on average, mostly spent in capitalist apps like Fb Google Amazon Insta Reddit Youtube Chatgpt etc, and these companies shape people’s opinions.
Without owning these apps, or creating an alternative that people use, it is very hard to change anything, because they can manipulate people easily, and actually people became zombies with this much screen usage.
So what is the plan? How can we create alternatives? Is there a socialist development movement? Or how can we own the existing companies? How can the govnments use these companies in a socialist environment?
Did you know that Lemmy was created by communists for precisely these reasons? https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Lemmy
Realistically we can only do that by seizing the means of production.
China and other socialist states are already doing that. The companies there answer to the state, not the other way around like in capitalist states.
Eh?
Is China being used as an example of valid communism/socialism? Isn’t Chinese Communism (i.e. the form practiced by the CCP) completely off?
