This one answer to that question has been ringing through my head for a couple of days.

  • The right to solidarity, i.e. all should be allowed to partake in solidary action during a strike.
  • The right of initiative and right to recall.
  • The right to free software, or freedom from proprietary software.
  • The right to a third place, i.e. ready access to physical spaces that allow for socializing with strangers.
  • Freedom from eviction (mainly wrt rent strikes and squatting.)
  • The right to democratic education.
  • The right to cross borders.
  • The right to be forgotten.
  • The right to purpose, or freedom from meaningless labor. This includes the right to an employee fund.

And there are of course other things. I just think that under the world’s current paradigm, these, at least individually, seem relatively attainable without a literal revolution.

Perhaps we might talk about how we might guide society toward these things using technology.

    I don’t think the average person would even understand the software thing, but I don’t know what I’d do if Linux stopped existing.

    Spun up win 10 on a VM to find out I had to create Microsoft account to even use it! Fuck that. Imagine if car manufacturers pulled that shit. “In order to use this car, you have to tell us who you are and where you are at all times so we can track you”.

    Fucking insane.
