<p>Yes yes I agree but none of those are a blueprint for communism per se. They are more transition measures in the hope that a new society will come out of it. Also is it only the work of Marx or collective authorship?<p>There's no blueprint for what Communism will be like. There is just this vague idea of some administrative entity that would replace distribution by the market IIRC</p>

<p>Reducing everything to a few sets of variables that you can keep in your mind is quite reassuring. Ask me how I know. Do take the time to assimilate this sentence though:<p>"But one should not succumb to the illusion that with an analysis of the fundamentals of the capitalist mode of production that everything decisive has already been said about capitalist societies"<p>Michael Heinrich, <i>Introduction to the three volumes of Capital</i></p>

<p>Using a email a free email provider with Thunderbird is a pain nowadays<p>You can get away with not giving your phone only with google and outlook but you will need recovery addresses. For those I am using proton mail, they don't require anything and for those I have the recovery key saved somewhere.<p>Also you will get error messages in thunderbird from outlook that it doesn't work... but it does work !<p>I did all that in anger but if I had to do it again I would just use one of those super cheap provider where you pay 1$ a month or even by usage and use TB with that.<p>Hey mail, fastmail, they all look great but I don't even pay that much to my bank or any other services so no way I am spending 5 euros or more a month for email</p>

<p>So I tried to check but at least in France the concentration of wealth was decreasing until 1980 when it started to raise again until now. We are now back at the 1935 level where 1% has 40% of the wealth<p>EDIT: 
For the U.S same tendancies but you started from lower concentration and you also sit at 40% now</p>

<p>I have no doubt that you are I was in no way looking down on the role of organized labor and pro-labor movements into getting the majority decent living standard. 
On the other hand, labor was already well-organized, so what changed ? I'd say the ability to harness ever more so energy to a point where it was abundant. All of our standard of living is downstream of cheap energy. It feeds the machine and the machines work for us. Now we have a stake in the system because we rely on it   much much more.<p>> After 70’s you look at purchasing power and living standards stagnating and both political and economical power becoming more and more concentrated on small elite<p>Is it the case though ? Probably it was more concentrated than in the decades before but I have a hard time to believe that it's more concentrated now than when we had political posters denouncing the "200 families" that ran the country.
Anyways I am against the concentration of wealth and I am even against the existence of billionaires (I believe individual wealth should be capped so that it doesn't become political power) but I think your view of those articles is uncharitable. It is a binary worldview where people are either for labor or mouthpieces for capital and I just don't believe you get anywhere interesting with that approach, imputing motives has little value compared to actually try to respond to the arguments being made<p>>  just a thin veil for business as usual rentier capitalism, that only benefits a very small elite<p>Trying to figure out how to best organize cities and develop them in the best interest of the <i>public</i> while trying to cap the negative externalities of development is a worthwhile endeavor</p>

<p>The problem with that worldview is that it's always the same look from the same perspective that is, the economic machine is an extractive system (top <- bottom) and the colonial system is entirely responsible for the current state of the countries a lot of people are trying to leave.<p>Your perspective ignores the fact that some of "us, the people" are actually benefiting from this economic machine/collective organization. In industrialized societies, it's been decades that even the people at the bottom of the social ladder have "more to lose than their chains". And no matter how morally responsible ex-colonizing nations are, it is a fact that newcomers have to be somewhat integrated economically and culturally and that no society knows how to do that at the scale of arrivals. It turns out reality is not as simple as our moral world is and it takes time and thankless work to figure out what's happening. Morality is somewhat well-equipped at handling relationships and at maybe detecting the economic/political systems failure modes but it is not well-equipped at solving societal issues.<p>The truth is that it is easy to attribute merit and blame but har to actually trying to make relevant change. Our vision of History is somewhat biased because we remember people who were responsible for positive change as people with the "right" position but it is often forgotten how much strategy, technical issues they've had to solve fort those to prevail :<p><a href="https://www.amazon.fr/-/en/Waging-Good-War-Thomas-Ricks/dp/1250872529" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.fr/-/en/Waging-Good-War-Thomas-Ricks/dp/1...</a>?</p>

<p>The article does not mention land-based fish farms but instead the "egg", a more enclosed pen that is underwater but estimate that it is 10 times the cost of a pen. 
How would a land-based fish farm would compare economically to those innovative underwater sea pens in your seemingly educated opinion ?</p>
