What other people have said.

What happens when your "movement" is an aesthetic with zero theoretical grounding?
It gets co-opted and commodified to be used for the consolation of the oppressed classes with the intent of duping them while robbing the movement of its revolutionary edge by vulgarising it.

Now, if only someone had written about this exact phenomenon in theory a century ago so that we would be aware of this and we'd be able to take steps to outflank it.

I love how we have one person in this thread vehemently saying "this is utopian fantasy nonsense that could never happen because it takes too much work" and another person saying "this already exists in china here are pictures"

Doesn't show on my device so I get to tell you how! it's { followed by the Mandarin, then vertical bar | followed by the pinyin, finally }
