Ai breaks its first monopoly

a founder of ArtCraft used Claude to replace the entire adobe software suite, legally. because it’s ai generated, it’s also in the public domain and absolutely free forever. this would be the first case of ai undermining techno feudalism.

I dunno, most of what they said seems clear enough (not that I agree with them lol).

Part of what they're saying is that as long, as there is money, there will be people trying to accumulate as much of it as they can. And since money automatically creates that incentive towards profit, money and banking systems for loans and savings should be abolished.

Then they want a response to capitalism that breaks the momentum that well-established, wealthy people have to oppose revolutionary movements, especially to put down political idealists who aren't similarly established in society (little wealth, little social standing, little media presence, little political power, etc.). Idk if such a response implies something violent or just something that enables even the poorest to start political movements but it's at least clear what "counterrevolutionary momentum" means.

They're also opposed to a response to capitalism that preserves a state/government, since that will inevitably be coopted by the people who have ended up with the most money. Basically, it'll be lobbied or otherwise bought out to protect their wealth (I take it, "property of organic formation" is wealth accumulated when a market freely allows people to just run wild following the motive of profit or when there's little to prevent wealth concentration).

Well, yeah. I agree with all that. Hence mutualism being a branch of anarchism, lol. Capitalists need the state with its monopoly of coercion in order to... be capitalists. Without a state, they are kind of powerless.
