A reason I'm not a hugely political activist is that I feel quite conflicted about the fundamental political principles of both today's Left and Right.

Like, I feel I deeply get Marx and Piketty's critique of capital, that it accumulates and disempowers all but a few. I've seen that happen before my eyes over the life of the Internet.

But also I get the capitalist's desire for personal freedom, to have something YOU own and can make better.

What I don't agree with is owning people's labour.
