      Lemmy has been quite a shock on that front. All these people bitching about capitalism using a machine only capitalism could have provided.

      And yes, every excess of the system can be dialed in without trashing the whole thing.

      Unfortunately, capitalism requires an underclass of oppressed laborers in order to function. Or at least, every capitalism ever has had one. Maybe it could work without it? We’ll probably never know though.
