- world of Alert + state businesses are incorrect = this. I feel like this is one of people's biggest objections against Bolshevism, and argument for why it's "beyond the end of history in the hyper-future". deep down they think the only problem with capitalism is that owners have hoarded all the Free Will, while if workers had some of the Free Will everything would be okay. in reality.... that is not how anything works. in the real world, putting all the businesses into one structure, or even doing the absolute bare minimum of forcing all people to be part of one government instead of multiple governments of multiple capitalisms, actually opens up new routes for giving individuals agency. the Soviet Union was constantly using "proper channels" to fire its managers. the people of China periodically launch complaints on or fire their bureaucrats; literally you can create Marxism without Bolshevism and it works better than Liberal-republicanism. there is a specific reason people like this even though it's wrong. they're looking at things from a "world of Alert" point of view where because individuals exist at such a small scale of reality they think people at all joining up into a bigger structure to protect them from capitalists is senseless. they just cannot imagine why a bunch of workers would join into a country to guard against First World capitalists and their capitalists when otherwise everybody would be suffering horribly off in another land First World people can't see or imagine. the fundamental concept of a proletarian civilization or dictatorship of the proletariat is alien to them. now why is this? well, number one: beneath Liberalism everybody believes in Existentialism or anarchism, where everything about a civilization starts at individual Free Will and the "social construction" of individual choices. number two: much of the United States is fundamentally structured as E:polyartisanal production.
