Lessig Blog: Et tu, KK? (aka, No, Kevin, this is not "socialism")
june 2009 by Urbanscale
I'm sympathetic to some of the underlying logic here, but I find Lessig's insistence on defining state coercion as one of the core (indeed, definitive) attributes of "socialism" bizarre and tendentious. As I read it, what he's working toward - or more to the point, what *I'm* working toward - is neither socialism nor capitalism, precisely emergent and certainly not statist. This piece makes me sad.
