Re: No evidence of digital wrong-doing...
Whenever you have a deliberative assembly the outcome it predefined by the process. A sausage machine may grant you a right to select meat but the outcome is always sausage, regardless of your selection. Or you get something like a social democratic committee paper, where each sentence has to be vague and is agreed upon by all, or has been previously agreed upon, thus the outcome is mostly baseless or manipulative, e.g. by shifting a principle on one level (all persons should be equal/free) to another level (all net traffic should be equal/all men should be free to shoot their machine guns) etc. Deliberative committees are paper interventions against rocks that are ultimately serving the ones governing the process. Indeed, your process, dear representative tokens, produced a nice agenda plan, but we are the officials and we pick what we want. A deliberative assembly has never the power to command the execution of their consented plan but still expects all participants to take ownership of the mediocre result. What works however well is disjunct scenario planning, e.g. with four scenarios. Then we usually get four "radical" plans. None of them would be executed in a pure form either but we avoid the consent without power and keep the tension, we develop the disjunct ideas to a more sophisticated level. Just as an example: - Hard Brexit on WTO rules. Ordered custom Brexit. Brexit reversal. Norway/EFTA. - Hardborder, Soft border, Irish Union, NI stays in the EU. Wouldn't it be great to have detailed plans for all scenarios?

Re: No evidence of digital wrong-doing...
Hey, Perhaps I can contribute or side-route with an example of (local scale? - or micro scale?) intervention I perform daily on the Helsinki public metro. I leave anonymous notes for strangers to find on the metro cars. I guess in hopes of nudging the finder to ask them self (and others) big questions about #*platform attention economy and the act of tuning out (or in?) to realities...(*techno*-mediated-spaces?) Power. Anyways, I believe this intervention is, in some way, making an impact (micro scale?) that in my mind, can also eventually become, say macro scale? Maybe. Consider this action (art?) communication, as the kind that intervenes unexpectedly into people’s lives and - hereby through chance encounter - opens one’s worldview to pause and consider the unknown. In this case a local stranger (me?) is among us, alien, reaching out, caring for, anonymously asking questions, seemingly underground, somewhat emerging? Consider if this art work is poetic rubbish (at least recycling), micro-nothing-at-all, or if it is like a stray seed of a meaningful weed, soon to multiply exponentially and fully transform a whole field.

Goerdt, 1980 From the above list itself, it becomes crystal clear that it was not Ernst Bloch, Karl Korsch, Gregory Lukács nor Antonio Gramsci, nor the early Frankfurt school philosophers, nor Althusser who did produce the first systematic Marxist work on ideology, consciousness, cognition, and culture. It was Bogdanov who opened the path, starting from 1897 and developing his ideas in more than 6 books focusing on cognition, culture, and ideology both in an integral way to the critique of political economy and as an autonomous field of inquiry. This fact alone makes Bogdanov the most important Russian follower of Marx, Engels, and Dietzgen, who upgraded historical materialism for the 20th century and shattering the myth of 'critical' 'cultural' 'Western' Marxism. This makes Bogdanov the precursor of all the others, who were aware of Bogdanov and his work, as Gramsci who secretly translated Bogdanov's Red Star (see Ghetti, 2016) during his time in Moscow in a collaboration with his wife Iulia. To remember, and put in perspective, Bogdanov's major contributions are: 1. Production of first vernacular study book on Marxian political economy. 2. Production of the stan
