My partner and I were talking recently about apple watches and how if they existed under a different system then they could really be for the greater good. What are some other things that would have been very good under communism?
no need for cryptocurrency on a moneyless society and though i’m not discounting blockchains as quickly, i fail to think of legimate use cases for a zero-trust distributed ledger in communism. legit i think the quintessential use case for blockchain at conception is some game theory libertarian brainworm shit where you can’t trust anyone with anything unless there’s some quid pro quo process mediating everything, thus why blockchains already pressume some sort of transactional society, so i really fail to see how would it fit in a happy communist utopia.
Idea use a block chain tech that destroys tokens on use at stores and calculates co2 emissions based on purchases so that we can plan the economy with granularity but idea is instead of mining coins they get issued for hours worked and the coins represent labor time avg then products at the store cost negative labor time so if a price isn’t subsidized you pay the avg labor time to produce the object with exceptions. The coins get expended on use and create orders automatically to replace what is purchased unless it would causes us to go over aloted national co2 limits
Could you imagine if they actually animated Yuri? Like, something that was good and not weird male gazey crap?

this deserves to be an entirely seperate post but disposable ubituitous personal computers aren’t sustainable. the unchecked extraction of lithium and coltan is not sustainable. if we want microchips to exist in the 22nd century, we will have to design them to last longer and benefit more people rather than just enabling megacorporations to harvest gigabytes of redundant data on the consumption habits of one citizen of the imperial core for a total of 5 years before going into a landfill.
I think there’s great possibility in developing Sodium and potassium based technologies to replace lithium- the issue is they are going to be heavier
