    Slaves don’t have private ownership of their capital (that is, their own labor)… because someone else does.

    Most “free” workers, in terms of capital, own only their own labor.

    Capitalists own the majority of the capital–land, equipment, intellectual property, etc.

    A system where the workers own the capital (aka the means of production) is socialism.








  • I have two in use right now, one with RetroPi connected to a small tube TV in my living room (did you know that the headphone jack on the pi can also output composite video!?, I didn’t until recently).

    The other I have setup on a bookshelf as a model PDP-11 (from the great PiDP-11 kit). It’s mostly just some pretty lights to look at, but it’s also a functional PDP-11 simulator. Theoretically it could also run pihole, but my router has openwrt which has the same capability.
