I’m surprised anybody has any doubts about the Bay Area being a fundamentally no-holds-barred capitalism hub, no different from NY or London on that front. Anti-capitalist voices get a lot of local airtime and signaling bandwidth but not a lot of actual power.

But no they’re not affectionate groom roasts. East Bay socialists are crazy mad angry true socialists who want to burn down the tech scene. They just lack the means.

Worse, these are true hostiles. Many want violence etc. Roasts are for players who see themselves as ultimately insiders of the same institutions. Rivals who share a playing field.

Yes. If this were a developing country and they were much poorer they’d be like naxalites. They represent legit political interests that really are aligned against capitalism. I even agree with several positions, like for-profit prisons being evil.
