I don't really get what posting this as an image gets. I would understand if the image was related or incorporated with the message but this is just some vague space motif.
The lord that "owned"¹ the pitchforks couldn't use them to spy on and control his subjects. And the lords opportunities to enrich himself with the sold pitchforks were very limited compared to computers. However while the analogy is a bit scruffy it is ultimately valid. We are limited by the tools of the current regime, even if we want to overthrow it, as not using them would make us invisible.
¹: how much ownership of an object do you really have if it's in the hands of someone else?
a revolutionist is only limited by the tools of the regime if they play by their rules. if they were okay with breaking those rules, they could build whatever tools they meed, even if forbidden.
I meant more technologically/ideologically limited. not legally limited. As in you cannot use a collectively owned tech services if they don't exist. Obviously no revolutionist should be concerned with legality.
