This post was inspired by two things I saw recently:

Jonny Price of WeFunder, sharing their newly designed raise page, featuring some giants of tech like Substack, Mercury and Levels.

Xalavier Nelson Jr. of Strange Scaffold, commenting on the seemingly extreme success of Larian Studios, with the upcoming release of Baldur’s Gate, and imporing consumers that it not “raise the standard”.

The connection between these two items is not obvious, but it is interesting.

How would you go about doing it in a communist system? Petition the government to fund you?

In an actual communist system, you wouldn't need funding. There would be no 'funds' to speak of. You just make your music and you get the same food and shelter that everyone else is entitled to.

Wouldn't work, obviously, but that's the theory.
