It’s pretty telling that pretty much all the dystopias we imagine are capitalist in nature, while all the utopias are socialist.
The cyberpunk genre is a really interesting example too. They’re clearly designed as dystopias, exploring future tech and capitalist societal structures used to oppress humanity and create isolation and loneliness, yet some weirdos idealize them.
Yeah, and arguably capitalism already brought us a cyberpunk future we’re living through. Much of the world is run by corps that surveil and control increasingly more of our lives. And yeah, apparently some people look at all this and think that what we really need is more of the same.
And all the dystopias we’ve experienced in reality were socialist and all the utopias were capitalist, that is pretty telling to though.
LOL funny joke, tell me another xD
Your opinions are valuable.
I’ve seen a variant of this that shows a painting of a Culture orbital, captioned ‘libertarian socialism’.
