I dont see BlueSky as an 'alternative' to X, its just a simple social media platform that has appropriated the X model, but it can't even remotely be compared (anything more than Ladas and Ferraris are both cars, sort of thing).

This is all true and valid criticisms.
However, socialism's solution to all this is the deliberate concentration of ownership in the hands of a few unaccountable political elites, who not influenced, but made the laws/ controlled the army. It's like, how is that solving any of the initial problems?

Although I am tempted to break into an essay of my own - what I always found odd was that the founding criticism of capitalism was that private ownership led to concentrations wealth/power among a few rich people who disproportionately influenced politics/laws, and huge inequality.
