When you try to use cryptocurrency for your capital flight, but you lose your private key and have to shill for Victims of Communism to survive under capitalism.

Relatedly: Even though they have significant control over corporate social media, their ability to control narratives is proving insufficient given all the above. Hence yesterday’s TikTok ban.

This is self-evident enough; I think I’m just typing out my “reform and opening up” anxiety. Private banks in socialist countries are a nexus for a potential bourgeois recapturing of the state. They’re deputized to create debt-based money out of thin air, which is potentially a lot of moola slushing around.

This reminds me of China Miéville’s project, Salva☭e, which may have petered out last year.

Salvage is a bi-annual journal of revolutionary arts and letters.
Salvage recognises that the catastrophe is already upon us and that the decisive struggle is over what to do with the remains.
Salvage is for a communism of the ruins.
