Learning about similarities between commercial #enshittification software practices & early modern #enclosure laws.

Both movements have operated legally to privilege & expand private ownership over a public resource.

Between the 17th and 20th centuries, the UK parliament passed over 5,000 #Enclosure Acts, seizing previously common lands and throwing peasants into #poverty and urban squalor. This massively increased #crime and lowered life expectancy, and created a new #capitalist #oligarchy.

I understand capitalism to be the economic system that functions by enclosing access to private property* in order to force people to cede a large part of the value produced by their labor to the people who control access to the means of production. The other essential aspect of capitalism is that that this access and control can be bought and sold, thus making it into capital.

What I'm wondering is what about this economic system requires continuous growth? This is a serious question, to which I don't have an answer. It's easy enough for me to imagine a steady-state capitalist economy. What's wrong with this idea if anything?

P.s. I'm not especially interested in arguing about the definition of the word "capitalism", but maybe I've missed some essential aspect of it that does imply continual growth?

* Which means productive land as well as more abstract means of production. In this definition "private" doesn't mean owned by non-governments, it means that access is restricted in order to compel labor. Governments own plenty of private property.

Here we go. S1E1!

TIL about Kett's Rebellion!

Led by Robert Ket, himself a landowner, a rebel army of sixteen thousand peasants captured Norwich, England’s second-largest city. They set up their “court” on Mousehold Heath outside the city, where they maintained their cause for six weeks. They demanded that “lords, knights, esquires, and gentlemen” be stopped from commercial stock-raising, and rent-gouging, and from privatizing common lands. We can agree with Bindoff that this was “a radical programme, indeed, which would have clipped the wings of rural capitalism.”

-- Theodore W. Allen, The Invention of the White Race vol. 2

Tak dlouho jsem čekal, až mi kamarád truhlář udělá box na 3D tiskárnu, až jsem se nasral, objednal IKEU, několik dní tisknul v kuse a hle. Nakonec z toho asi něco bude. Truhlář sem tedy strašlivě špatnej, ale zase když se zdravě naseru. #3Dprinting #enclosure

'The privatization of land has been justly described as “perhaps the weirdest of all undertakings of our ancestors.”* The transformation of common resources into private property involved not only new ways of using the land, but also, as both cause and effect, new ways of thinking about it. The idea that individuals could claim exclusive ownership of parts of nature on which all humans depend was very weird indeed. Contrary to the oft-expressed view that greed is inherent in human nature, the shift from commons-based to private profit-based farming was not accepted easily—in fact, it was denounced and resisted as an assault of the laws of God and the needs of humanity.'

Reading "The Future" by the brilliant @naomialderman (thank you, @pluralistic!) very slowly, not wanting it to end...

So, Acryl-Gehäuse ist da und es ist sehr cool.

Die ganzen Bohrlöcher, Aussparungen und Details hätte ich nie zu einem sinnvollen Preis im Zuschnitt bekommen.

Sogar Laser geschnittenen Filz dazu für einige Kabelschächte. Dazu ein Set an guten Schlossschrauben.

Anleitung auf Französisch, aber wird gehen.

Nun, dann mal die Verbinder drucken.
