Yes, I think this is a key point being made so far, that it's fundamentally incorrect to think of capital as a big pile of money, or as a machine sitting in a factory. Capital is not just the objects or social relationships, but it is the way these things are always transforming, always in motion (metaphorical and actually).

Napster was a godsend, as I couldn't afford to buy music. I installed it on the school computers, and I had a sneaky little hidden folder with my mp3s. I'd plug in my headphones and listen over lunchtime. I eventually figured out how to use multipart rar files to put them onto floppy disks, so that I could get them back home and listen on my parent's computer. I was eventually able to buy a portable CD player that played mp3s on CD-RW, which really opened up the possibilities. Without piracy, I don't think I would be into music in the same way - I simple never would have had the opportunity to listen to most stuff.

There was a point in my life where I made a point of reading reactionary books and magazines so that I could understand the mindset better. But when you're arguing with one IRL, you'll quickly realize that they don't actually read.

"You kids don't know Grand Funk? The wild shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner? The bong-rattling bass of Mel Schacher? The competent drumwork of Don Brewer? Oh, man!"

The best part is that these jokes are all seamlessly integrated into a heartfelt story of a father trying to connect with his children.
