This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I’m talking about snow crash/BioShock capitalism.

Oh. Well I'm not, haha. Capitalism for me is when the means of production is in private hands and the owner employs people to do the labour for a fraction of the value of the end product in order to make a profit. That quite accurately describes the current status quo, I think!

I was trying to say that neither extreme has been tried, although we are damn close

Well okay, point taken.
