> we can't seem to create organisational structures that aren't squashed, perverted or co-opted away

The @situationist theorists explained this through the core concept of "the Spectacle" and a dynamic they called "recuperation".

The idea is that a spectacular society (eg pre-collapse USSR or late capitalism) can't create anything new. It thrives by recuperating structures created independently of it, and absorbing them into its own logic. Open source foundations are a good example.

I had a lot of fun "modernising" Thoreau's "Civil disobedience" with an LLM...

... After I was done with it, it basically became a #sovcit pamphlet.
