I think where people go wrong in imagining post-capitalist economies is starting with values. The stacking order is technology —> economics —> values. You need to start with alternative technological principles. Example: design with degradation/aging as a feature not bug.

For eg: You can’t impose “sustainability” as a bolted-on value onto an economy that is based on maximally valuing pristine newness as the default. Imagine an economy where most things peak in quality/value 30% into their lifespan, like living things. Digital stuff is that way.

You're making 's point. You can't bolt on values because they get baked into the technology stack. This is the the dilemma of identity online: freedom loving Internet creators refused statist notions of control, which continue to undermine right wing identity goals.
