Edit: Changed title to be more accurate.

Also here is the summary from Wikipedia on what Post-scarcity means:

Post-scarcity is a theoretical economic situation in which most goods can be produced in great abundance with minimal human labor needed, so that they become available to all very cheaply or even freely. Post-scarcity does not mean that scarcity has been eliminated for all goods and services but that all people can easily have their basic survival needs met along with some significant proportion of their desires for goods and services. Writers on the topic often emphasize that some commodities will remain scarce in a post-scarcity society.

    Got it, you’re just trolling now.

    The original point of this convo was that you thought that it’s okay to use incorrect terms as long as it gets people to move, and my point is that it’s better to educate people so they can come to the correct conclusions by themselves, and can better make decisions in the future without relying on a benevolent party of individuals to tell them exactly what to think.

    You then proceed to squirrel away and dodge every single point I make.

    I can’t give you a phone number or a link without knowing where you work and what your workplace and position is. If you want the next best thing, the Industrial Workers of the World has resources for you: https://www.iww.org/. You can also go to the Anarchist Library: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/index and the Marxist Internet Archive: https://www.marxists.org/ if you want theoretical texts.

    What’s your new way to squirrel out? Either admit that using the correct terms and educating people to be able to come to correct conclusions themselves is better than using incorrect terms deliberately, or answer why you think it’s better to try to guide people at each and every step, even if it puts way more work on the activists and results in a population out of touch with what is going on around them.

      It took you however many tries to post something that someone could actually use, and you’re still going on about how correct you are.

      And no, you still haven’t proven to me that using ‘correct terms’ matters in the least.

      But you’re right about one thing, this is pointless.
