So, what happens after we overthrow the Empire? For example, do all dwellings become the personal property of whoever is actually living in them?
What happens to the mansions of the rich, such as Mar-A-Lago and the White House? Break them up into rent-free apartments? Ditto for hotels and other […]
“Far into the future, discarded objects persist to ‘haunt us with the temporality they materialise’. When waste is examined through the lens of temporality, the current dominant paradigm of exponential growth through zero waste appears redundant or even ludicrous.” #PostCapitalism #Degrowth
