When we talked today about political economy, I started thinking - I must confess, as I am prone to do - what would Marx make of this?
Line: 90 to 90
 Lizzie - I don't think we actually disagree, My position is that the primary barrier to change is that labor and capital are not being directed to their proper use. The solution is to begin directing labor and capital to their proper use. That necessarily involves politics and technological change. I am unconvinced that it necessarily must involve fundamentally altering the software we use to communicate and acquire information.

Sure - I think you are right Shay, but an injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. Democratic software development is one way to struggle for liberation; the development of accessible, sustainable energy for populations in developing countries is another. They aren't mutually exclusive, and one's not necessarily better than the other. We need lots more of both - don't you agree? I think creating social change is about finding what you are good at, identifying how that challenges power and then pushing. Hard. Answering those questions is not always easy to do, but the answers will certainly not be the same for everyone.
