Facebook and Twitter are not socialist. There is social creation of value (views, likes, thoughts, etc), and the corporate profit-taking of that value (ads). Sounds 2 capitalist 4 me.
except ppl trying to shape opinions with proof of popularity. limiting oposing views and pushing down the individual. sacrifice for the greater following sounds pretty weak to me.
Hey, i am not a big fan of facebook or twitter either, if you aren’t paying for a product, you are the product, and all that.
Still doesn’t make it socialist. Definitions matter.
How isn't that socialist?
Because socialism is "communal ownership of communal labor." Facebook is a private corporation. Even on the micro, user scale, it models private property. Tribal behavior =/= socialist
Corporations are legal entities of government.
It models private property within a mixed market, making it socialist: your data and posts are owned by fb.
That is a damn good way to describe our reality of mixed markets :)
Fighting the good fight, nice!
