Big fan of this thread. DSA-type lefties rightly call for the de-commodification of housing, but the uncomfortable fact is that includes individual homeowners' equity. It's a huge order-of-operations problem in the absence of labor power and social safety net...
I'm not a top economist, but I think we should try to make the housing itself less expensive instead of encouraging people to take on more debt to buy it.
".. a Federal Housing Administration program to facilitate home purchases with as little as $1,000 down for first-time buyers who meet 'strong underwriting criteria' .."

The problem with AI was always and already:
1: the commodification of art
2: the alienation of people from their labor
3: the capitalist war of all against all, the existence of a dispossessed class
4: the lack of intention as a meaningful driver of society
These are not AI problems.

Sex workers are forced to exist at margins, and deplatformed for even talking in code. But even that’s too much.
According to CS, sex workers are vultures grooming children with their fake feminism.

also love this part bc this is actually not what marxism is about. this is an extremely idealist take. fascists would actually be more likely to agree with this and that's why they hate marxism lmfao. marxism is not the free will ideology

Ah yes, sex work is "commodification of their bodies" unlike, say, every other job on Earth. Exchanging use of one's body for compensation is only bad when sexuality is involved, I guess.

It's a new day for affordable housing in NYC!
COPA will require the owners of up to 3,400 buildings to give community land trusts and other nonprofits the first chance to buy them, thereby removing them from the vicious for-profit market.
De-commodification of housing is how we make it affordable.

Today ANHD joined advocates from across the city as Mayor Mamdani signed the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) into law, at ANHD member @cypresshillsldc Chestnut Commons. NYC now has a tool to fight speculation, preserve deeply affordable housing, and keep New Yorkers housed!

Take more time to process or wait how the season proceeds, please. Otherwise, find and a new hyperfixation as another path to revenue. By all means be critical of media and art, but the commodification of fan work muddies waters. And frankly the overconsumption of fanon can harm canon analysis.

I rly believe the moment anything you hold dear, be it a relationship, family, your own experiences, becomes involved in 'content' there's no escaping that thing changing. commodification changes things from within. even commodifying something for 'consumption' by others and not explicitly for money

The entire industry of for profit incarceration needs to be outlawed.
It is nothing but the commodification of human misery and suffering.
No civilized race should tolerate this.
But this is a great first step and it addresses the worst aspects of the industry

There can be glimpses of that elsewhere, but the muck is so heavy and dominant that it overwhelms.
I think it has to do with the commodification of people and thought due to engagement driving algorithms.
The lack of that here, means people, and all their stuff, can thrive.
