>computing is political, so let computer club be political too
I agree but probably not in the way the author intended. To build a working, affordable, modern computer requires handling the most complicated mass consumer supply chain the world has yet seen - and that's before you get into any software you want to run atop it. The fact that such machines can be had new for less than the price of a used car is nothing short of a capitalist miracle.
