Interesting interview

"We’re fixing bits and pieces of it, but the whole machinery which controls the logic of surveillance capitalism prevails in politics, in media – also in humans that in recent years became digital biomass and not thinking individuals. To me, it feels like even with all the progress we have made, the Titanic is going down, and we probably have to accept that the deep crisis is still in front of us."

Kind of amazing how socialists always try to find new words for the problems they cause "turbocapitalism", "predatorcapitalism", "plattformcapitalism" or "surveillance capitalism". Most politicians are the problem they try to solve: Socialists! Its not capitalism. Its socialism, capitalism, marxism. Call it as you like but its not capitalism!

As far as I can tell she works as a lawyer without political affiliation.

Where exactly do you read her being a socialist?

Also don't you think surveillance and big data analysis is a problem?

I think certain harmful practice by big corporations is incentivised when there is no regulation

Oh. You are right. She is not a politician but her NGO is trying to push policies against surveillance.

Yes, surveillance is the problem. But she calls it "surveillance capitalism". The capitalism part is (as I clearly wrote in my note) wrong. It's surveillance socialism. Pun intended that socialism needs surveillance to keep the people in line with the socialist regimes goals.

And as she clearly supports etatism and since every state, that is using a money that is described in the communist manifest, is a Marxist state, she has to be a socialist of some kind. Maybe she just doesn't even know. I mean most of the politicians that are socialists won't tell you that they are socialists.

Alright, thanks for clarifying
