I immensely enjoyed doing the editorial review of this series of thinkpieces for IT For Change.

This piece by Gabriella Razanno advances the concept of "beneficial visibility" using the digitalisation of social grants in South Africa as a critical case study. It sheds light on the racist and patriarchal architecture of digital public infrastructure.

"For the conservative argument to hold any water, there needs to be a reason that free stuff from the government is bad but free stuff from individuals is not. Why would that be? When people like Senator Paul rage against free stuff, the concern seems to be the effect it will have on the recipient — that handing out free stuff promotes laziness. Why would a free bus ride turn working-class people into freeloaders but a trust fund make rich kids into innovative entrepreneurs? This makes sense only if you have already decided that poor people are lazy and rich people are inherently better.

Any capitalist who doesn’t want to abolish inheritance rejects the first premise of the first version of the Anti-Socialism Argument. Unless you have either simply presupposed that capitalism is the better system or have assumed that rich people are genetically superior, you have no reason to believe premise one of the revised Anti-Socialism Argument 2.0.

So let’s be clear: The “free stuff” line isn’t an argument. It’s a smoke screen. It’s a way to sneer at programs that help ordinary people while keeping quiet about the much larger freebies that flow to the wealthy every day. Mamdani’s win shows that more and more New Yorkers see through the hypocrisy."

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

We are face to face with new conceptions of the relations of property to human welfare, chiefly because certain advocates of the rights of property as against the rights of men have been pushing their claims too far. The man who wrongly holds that every human right is secondary to his profit must now give way to the advocate of human welfare, who rightly maintains that every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-08-31), “The New Nationalism,” Osawatomie, Kansas
