However, unlike the old forms of socialism, nobody is getting fucked. There's really no scarcity in an online world, which is what made the old form of socialism so bad. Not everyone can get a loaf of bread, but everyone can upload a video.

The New Socialism
If you've posted a video on Youtube, you're a socialist. At least that's what Kevin Kelly says. I agree with what he's saying, but it's not as shocking as you'd think. Whether it is posting a video on Youtube, or sharing family photos, when you give something away to people for free, that is a form of socialism.

Interesting points but I wouldn't call it Socialist, I'd call it a social network or socializer.
