@josiahwsutton - incomprehensible to most people
- live largely separated from society
- take people’s best years
- live off the lives of others
- promise people happiness or success, but only under certain conditions
- have the power to look younger than they are
🤔🤔🤔
@benjamindcrosby Of course the proposed solution is just creating another avenue for consumption. Even in the most charitable light, this rhetoric still capitulates to capitalism and appears unable to recognize that it’s doing so. Fish in water, etc.
Throw in Dunwoody, Roswell, Sandy Springs, and all of Cobb County while we’re at it. Then City of Atlanta has no excuse for failing to build more rail routes or protected bike lanes or name your favorite infrastructure Plus you get a massive increase in tax base to fund all of it
A great time to re-up my policy of complete suburban annexation in Atlanta. Anything inside 285 should be City of Atlanta. Brookhaven and Buckhead should not be allowed to use Midtown and Downtown resources and then escape to their tax loophole masquerading as a city.
suburbanization is actually extremely bad for the economy and requires massive government subsidies to sustain
sprawl is fundamentally super inefficient use of land
@buffalowildhanz As usual, communism understood this way seems like a fulfillment of liberal economics: the individual is seeking mastery over their self-interest, the irony being that it takes the collective to do so.
@buffalowildhanz This critique also assumes that the communism seeks to or requires the abolition of greed/self-interest. I’m not particularly convinced that’s the case. Is altruism inherent to the definition of communism?
