I recently discovered the Create mod for Minecraft and it is still blowing my mind, it might be the best mod ever made for the game. I still remember watching the trailer for the mod and my first reaction being “THIS MOD ADDS THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION TO MINECRAFT!”

I already had the idea to make a post scarcity fully automated luxury communist villager society in Minecraft and this mod is exactly the missing piece to my plan.

It definitely was. I wonder when the next “decades within weeks” moment will happen and finally bring about a paradigm shift for the better. The imperial core is deindustrializing and steadily rolling back so many of the guardrails meant to keep capitalism from imploding one wonders if the theoretical endpoint in a couple centuries is some form of neo-serfdom and subsequently the modern reenactment of the fate of the Romanov dynasty.
