        Do you think Capitalists designed hardware, or Engineers?

        I’m just gonna leave this quote as is, so you can think about it.

          I have. Engineers, ie workers, designed the hardware. It was not the Capitalists that owned the companies doing the design.

                  Case in point. You think quoting an argument and sneering is a counterargument. Obviously, because you don’t know the first thing about labor theory of value.

                  Someone asked if you think capitalists or engineers did the engineering, and you revealed you don’t understand the question.

                    You are once again building a flawed model of the dynamic at play here in an attempt to ease the discomfort you feel from encountering something that doesn’t make sense to you (why did I choose to join this community?). I’m not even attempting to build any counterarguments because the responses I’ve gotten don’t even attempt to understand what I’ve said in the beginning. To be utterly frank I just lack respect for people who think of themselves as any flavour of anarchist while still dreaming of a system as thoroughly rigid as the artificially created Internet. You pretend to hate the system while desperately trying to invent excuses for continuing to make yourself at home within it.

          It really seems like you didn’t have an actual argument, you just wanted to whine and duck away from any pushback.
