This (extremely off-putting) answer reveals a key thing that's beautiful about markets:

They let people express the strength of their preferences without needing to always justify their values in front of a committee.

Wolff’s answer makes no sense. If one cooperative, let’s call it Sony, made electronics like tvs and game consoles, and one cooperative produced food, or parts for trains, or anything else. The person who works for the train parts cooperative would just trade a certain amount of labour vouchers for a PlayStation

We don’t live in the early 20th century anymore. Any version of socialism is going to include electronics. Truthfully, in a society with less business hierarchy there probably won’t be PlayStation and Nintendo because these are shitty companies. But there will still be video games. Probably most will be…

…distributed freely by hobbyists and artisans who, having everything they need already, can build the games they love in their free time or as part of a cooperative of video game artisans. 

Probably, everything would just run on open source OSes. Probably we’d have an open database of all games free to play.

A beautiful vision, one which I hope people like Vitalik and many in the crypto world could share 🤝

I sometimes wonder how much VCs realize that very useful AI combined with blockchain-strengthened democratic and financial applications is just literally going to be socialism. 

The idea that the individuals have full democratic power and that efficiencies benefit the worker and we all work less is straight Marxism.

I’d like to hear Vitalik and other pro-tech people discuss post-scarcity society. I’ve written before that truly democratized AI and automation would lead the way to post-scarcity socialism by necessity. Anything else would just be a dystopia

Dear @vitalik.eth it would be amazing and so helpful for envisioning a positive future if you would do a podcast with ThumbsUp and @tbsocialist ❤️ many people would love to listen to that conversation and you may be inspired as well. Thank you.

He's been on before! A second may be due at some point soon though

Wow that's awesome I didn't know, I'll look up the episode. 🤘
