Praxis for the hacker class
[[Hacker class]].
Really liked reading Wark say (in [[Capital is Dead]]) how that to understand the current informatics-based forces of production, comrades with technical knowledge are needed to collaborate with those with the theoretical knowledge. I feel like I sit in the space between theoretical and technical where I could have something to contribute here.
See also [[principles for ethical technology]]. See [[Reclaiming the stacks: how ICT workers can contribute to a transition to ecosocialism]].
This has not stopped some interesting and promising signs of hacker self-organization in technical and creative industries, from the [[unionization of creatives at Vice Media]] to the Google walkout to refusal to work on border control or military projects across the tech industry.
