Musk: I own the company.

Proudhon: What did you make?

Musk: The company.

Proudhon: No. What did you make?

Musk: I organized capital, engineers, factories, patents, infrastructure...

Proudhon: Who built the factories?

Musk: Workers.

Proudhon: Who designed the machines?

Musk: Engineers.

Proudhon: Who built the roads, universities, electrical grid, internet and accumulated scientific knowledge?

Musk: Society, mostly.

Proudhon: And you own it?

Musk: Yes.

Proudhon: Wonderful. We've made enormous technological progress since 1840. Property is still theft, but now the thief has rockets.

Kropotkin meets Elon Musk:

Musk: Automation can make almost everything abundant.

Kropotkin: Excellent. Then we can abolish scarcity.

Musk: No, no. I own the machines.

Kropotkin: Ah. So you've automated the factory but kept the landlord.

Musk: I'm building the future.

Kropotkin: You're building The Conquest of Bread and charging a subscription for the bread.

Canada's tax loophole isn't that worldwide income is tax-free. It's that the system begins with: please tell us what you own and earned. 🇨🇦

Hide it behind enough corporate opacity and the problem isn't beating CRA in court. It's making sure there's never a case.

No declaration → no obvious income → no investigation → no prosecution.

For the wealthy, secrecy does most of the legal work before a lawyer ever enters the room.

I'm pretty sure CNN was originally sold as a news network.

An adorable little misunderstanding that lasted several decades. 📺

911 is structurally incapable of "sending help."

It sends what the state has: armed people trained to drive cruisers, control scenes, collect evidence, make arrests, write reports and build court files.

Then we dispatch them to mental-health crises, family conflicts, homelessness and human distress.

That's not help with a police component.

That's policing with a help-shaped phone number. 🚨

A full warehouse and an empty stomach can coexist without magic. Food is "available" until price, paperwork, or a locked distribution chain says otherwise. The pantry has inventory; the gate has authority. 🍞🔒

Samuel Bronfman and Al Capone operated across the same Prohibition-era liquor economy. Capone wasn't exactly a choir boy, but when the blood was harder to prosecute, they opened the books. 🧾

Same idea for Canadians returning from the IDF after killing Palestinian children.

I'm not expecting CRA to turn into Eliot Ness. 😂

I want the books opened.

Foreign income. Military pay. Charities. Tax receipts. Law firms. Money transfers. Who funded what, and where did it go?

The threat isn't that Canada's tax laws will suddenly put everyone in Alcatraz.

The threat is much worse for a system built in obscurity:

daylight. 🔦🇨🇦

Canada wants to vet returning IDF soldiers for possible war crimes?

Cool. Send the CRA the same list. 🇨🇦🧾

If they remained Canadian tax residents while serving abroad, were they reporting their worldwide income?

Apparently "foreign service" deserves more than one kind of compliance review.

The Geneva Walk

Cruel treatment and torture are prohibited “at any time and in any place whatsoever.” Testimonies describe waterboarding and dogs set on detainees held incommunicado, without a lawyer, without review. https://genevawalk.felineunion.org/

Practice is what a technician acquires.

Praxis is what an operator does: theory and action fused, each testing and refining the other.

Institutions can certify practice. Praxis terrifies them. So they keep demanding ritual proof that you’re a technician from people already operating beyond their vocabulary.

The Occupying Power “has the duty of ensuring the food and medical supplies of the population.” Famine confirmed in Gaza Governorate on 15 August 2025; the ICC charges starvation as a method of warfare. https://genevawalk.felineunion.org/

Liberal institutions for citizens do not make a liberal system for people subjected to occupation, military law and unequal political rights. https://theaxes.fyi/zionism.html

🇨🇦 "Buy Canadian! Protect Canadian jobs!"

Cool. Then check the label.

Sold in Canada ≠ made in Canada.
Sold by a Canadian company ≠ made in Canada.

Canadian Tire perfected this decades ago: import the world, retail it under a maple leaf, then call the checkout counter economic nationalism. 🍁📦🌏

Protectionism gets a little awkward when Canada's Store isn't actually full of Canadian-made stuff.

We enclosed the commons, privatized the land, monetized housing, patented seeds, paywalled knowledge and copyrighted culture. 🔐🌎

Then somebody downloaded a movie without paying.
Civilization narrowly survived. 🎬🏴

The commons says: take what you need, contribute what you can. 🤝
Capital says: take what you can own, charge everyone who needs it. 💳
Both are resource-distribution models. One simply requires considerably more security guards. 👮

We enclosed the commons to make society efficient. Now millions work all week to request temporary access to land, housing, knowledge, and infrastructure their labour maintains. A modest paperwork issue. 🏠💳🏴

🌱 They call the Commons "unrealistic" while requiring landlords, cops, lawyers, contracts and courts to make private property work. Apparently sharing needs explaining, but exclusion needs an entire fucking bureaucracy. 🏴

We don't lack human ingenuity. We ration it through profitability. 🧠🔒 If an idea can't please a shareholder, apparently humanity isn't allowed to fucking have it. 😂🏴
