Anyone read the latest Varoufrakis book? His principal thesis (that FAANG et alia's ownership of the internet's platforms and commons is a new form of feudalism that will succeed and eclipse capitalism) is fascinating and possibly has some merit, but his arguments always sound like: my opinion is correct because it aligns with these other opinions, which are also mine 😆
That's also Cory Doctorow's take on those platforms, and neither would be the first to notice that capitalism tends to decay into rent-seeking when it's not well regulated.
