Wired coming out swinging with an actual socialist/leftist/communist article? Color me impressed.

In the states, the Democrats are often mislabeled as a lefty party, or mislabeled as socialists. People will call CNN Marxist. They really, really aren't.

It's fascinating to see a major publisher going out on a limb to publish something like this.

I'm old enough to remember when Wired wrote interesting tech articles. I don't think we need another left-wing rag.

Interesting tech articles were always a very small part of Wired magazine. They've always been about techno-utopian visions of the future. IOW, they've always had philosophical articles.

Me too, our difference is that I see relatively few leftist publications in tech. There's plenty of writing out there that supports Democrats, but the Dems are not leftist in any meaningful way.
