The left neo feudalist argument that you take the most seriously is that put forward by cedric duran. You disagree with Durrant that capitalism has changed in important ways over the past half century of new liberalism or in financialization. Do you simply disagree with his argument that these changes mean that we're no longer living under capitalism? I am not so sure. And this is where i think even the italian autonomists kind of got there way ahead of most orthodox markes, by pointing out that alor of truly transformative learning processes, innorvative processes, discovery processes, that happen in society,. they merge, to some extent, from the up, from collaboration within people
Featuring Evgeny Morozov on his essay "Critique of Techno-Feudal Reason."

Morozov argues that our bleak moment is in fact still a thoroughly capitalist one.
