I think technology is wonderful, and it should be used in a way that benefits humanity. My comment that western capitalist values ruin the way we use those things might not be considered a “Marxist” viewpoint by some. I don't know, but I feel like so many kids these days want to be famous influencers. I see this as an extension of Hollywood celebrity nonsense. This online culture from social media produces crap like fidget spinners. There are always new fads and products emerging. Almost none of them have any real benefit. Capitalism has destroyed literally everything, including culture.

The text below was written by the revolutionary Che Guevara.

In this period of the building of socialism we can see the new man and woman being born. The image is not yet completely finished — it never will be, since the process goes forward hand in hand with the development of new economic forms.

Aside from those whose lack of education makes them take the solitary road toward satisfying their own personal ambitions, there are those — even within this new panorama of a unified march forward — who have a tendency to walk separately from the masses accompanying them. What is important, however, is that each day individuals are acquiring ever more consciousness of the need for their incorporation into society and, at the same time, of their importance as the motor of that society.

They no longer travel completely alone over lost roads toward distant aspirations. They follow their vanguard, consisting of the party, the advanced workers, the advanced individuals who walk in unity with the masses and in close communion with them. The vanguard has its eyes fixed on the future and its reward, but this is not a vision of reward for the individual. The prize is the new society in which individuals will have different characteristics: the society of communist human beings.

awesome post btw. The future of humanity rests on China's shoulders...

The correct translation of name is not "technology OF youth" but "technology FOR youth"!

This is the kind of vision that’s sorely lacking under ~~western~~ capitalism
