Democratic Socialism/Communism is the only solution to advanced automation & artificial intelligence.

Another commie pipe dreaming...

I am no commie. I have done well in our capitalist society.

But the facts say there will be a change.

The population is growing. More and more people are entering the workforce.

The number of jobs, if growing at all, is growing incrementally.

There will be a point in which there are hundreds of thousands of people without work. We will either come up with a way to feed and house them, or there will be a bloody revolution.
 
That's a baby-brained, comatose comment. Do you realize how stupid you sound saying that? If anything, capitalism creates slaves, not socialism. Socialism places everything in the hands of the public, whereas capitalism privatizes everything in the hands of a few capitalist multi-millionaires and billionaires.

Capitalism is a system of human exploitation, where one small parasitical group of people who own everything (under the protection of the government) refuse to work, hence they hire others to work for them, for a wage (that is always worth less than what the worker is producing), to make a profit.

Without wages, the capitalist boss/fief lord doesn't have any customers, hence wages and profits are two sides of the same coin. You can't have one without the other.


Why would you, a working-class person support your capitalist masters, who are exploiting and reducing you, to a mere commodity in a "labor market"? You're dehumanized, into a product to be purchased by a capitalist master, in a labor market and exploited like a machine. You own nothing of what you produce and are placed in an adversarial position against your fellow workers, who are competing for the same job (until workers wake up and unite, forming a labor union).

Adam Smith the father of capitalism identifies capitalists as masters:


What are the common wages of labour, depends every where upon the contract usually made between those two parties, whose interests are by no means the same. The workmen desire to get as much, the masters to give as little as possible. The former are disposed to combine in order to raise, the latter in order to lower the wages of labour.

It is not, however, difficult to foresee which of the two parties must, upon all ordinary occasions, have the advantage in the dispute, and force the other into a compliance with their terms. The masters, being fewer in number, can combine much more easily; and the law, besides, authorizes, or at least does not prohibit their combinations, while it prohibits those of the workmen. (
Wealth Of Nations - Book I, Chapter VIII)

Why do you defend your wage slavery? Because your capitalist employer/exploiter masters have brainwashed you. You drank the capitalist Kool-Aid.


Marxism murdered hundreds of millions more than any other ideology in human history.

You are a carbon producer, as such, your life represents a source of pollution to the elites, and you are eating up all their precious natural resources to boot.

Idiot.

Democrats, they put more people out of work than any other party in human history and are damned proud of it.

People have ways of dealing with "useless eaters". Anyone who thinks the future holds some idyllic shangri-la, where they'll be fed, and housed for nothing; is naieve at best...
 
You're delusional if you think artificial intelligence and advanced automation aren't going to replace most jobs. Even pro-capitalist experts admit to this, so you're just in denial. You're suffering from a bad case of cognitive dissonance.
You’re the delusional one, Capitalism isn’t going anywhere. Your utopian wet dream will crash and burn, dreaming is okay, your fantasy of an automated economy will never work.

There will always be a wealth gap, it's just that democrats tend to favor policies where more and more people are impoverished with less and less super rich folk that herd around all the poor folk.
 
It's obvious that the only true solution to the inevitable replacement of human wage-labor by advanced automation and artificial intelligence, is a marketless, non-profit, publicly owned, more democratic, centrally planned system of mass production, a.k.a. socialism. The billionaires see the writing on the wall:




No wage labor (or not enough of it) = No Paying Consumers (or not enough customers) = No Market (or not a large enough market worth investing in) = No Profits (not enough ROI) = No Capitalism (No Capitalists Making A Profit) = Socialism (non-profit, marketless production that doesn't rely on wages being paid to a labor force, that purchases products and services in a market).


When production is fully or mostly automated, there's no more need for wage-labor or markets. Socialism is the natural, inevitable successor of capitalism, just as capitalism was the successor of feudalism.

Americans due to decades of Cold War anti-socialist, capitalist propaganda, and brainwashing, are unable to accept this self-evident fact. It's mostly Americans over 50 years old, who have trouble coming to terms with this, not the younger generation. The Millenials are much more open to socialism and the Zoomers are the most socialist generation in American history.

The transition to a non-profit system of production is going to be much smoother in the near future, as boomers retire and the younger generation takes the helm.


Governments around the world are making the lives of farmers a living hell, mostly with their climate policies that restrict the use of fertilizer because it emits carbon.

So, as governments around the world are mandating less food to be produced worldwide, which drives up inflation for poor folk, billions will starve to death next year.

It's what you call a kinder gentler genocide, one without firing squads and gas chambers

Think of the reduction of carbon footprints so the elites can save the world.

Yay!

Do you not care or are you just ignorant?

Which one?
 
But the facts say there will be a change.
Change is inevitable, always the case. That doesn’t necessitate robots will take over the entire workforce
The population is growing. More and more people are entering the workforce.
And more people require more work, that will never change
The number of jobs, if growing at all, is growing incrementally.
See above ^^^^^
There will be a point in which there are hundreds of thousands of people without work.
You are not paying attention, our workforce today is depleted, unemployment is historically low, we have let bureaucracy ruin the law of supply and demand. You have to get out of the way, our Capitalist system is the best in the history of the world.
We will either come up with a way to feed and house them, or there will be a bloody revolution.
If you continue down this road of delusional thinking there will be a very bloody revolution
 
Gobbledygook. That's all you have? Gebbirish? Never in history has production been automated by intelligent, autonomous systems as today. Machinery in general, has always needed a human operator. With the advancement of cybernetics in the 1970s, there was an unprecedented loss of office workers. An administrative department in the 1940s and 50s, looked like a factory, full of workers, typing and filing records, copying documents by hand on typewriters. All of that changed with computers and Xerox.

With the further development of autonomous, intelligent systems, it's self-evident even to big-money capitalists like Musk and others, that the only way for capitalism to survive is through a massive government intervention i.e. bailout, in the form of a UBI (Universal Basic Income) or even a UI/UHI (Universal High Income), paid monthly by the government.

You can pretend if it makes you feel better, that advanced automation and AI replacing most if not all of wage labor isn't going to force society to adopt a non-profit system of production, but anyone able to think rationally will come to terms with the truth. Advanced automation and artificial intelligence is the end of capitalism and the beginning of the socialist age. Hopefully the transition between both economic systems will be bloodless, without violence.
So you're scared, that's your thesis?

It could have been stated in one sentence.

That's your moronic assumption, not my thesis, but yours. The solution to the elimination of wage labor by advanced, 21st-century automation and AI, is high-tech, marketless socialism.

Again, the point I made which you mocked mercilessly is that this is the precise same opinion by many when the Industrial Age hit. How about internet? Video game systems were hacked, the music industry was impacted by Napster etc. These are exponentially more dangerous to industries and workers than A.I is at the moment.

In time, A.I will replace many workers. Workers will still be needed and there will always be some industries who will hire outside of A.I.

Once full bodied human replicas and A.I become available, well, we will have to adjust to make programming and improving A.I as part of the human corpus of education
 
Change is inevitable, always the case. That doesn’t necessitate robots will take over the entire workforce

And more people require more work, that will never change

Not only are socialists aware that socialism is the only solution to the elimination of wage labor by advanced automation and AI, but most billionaires and economic experts recognize that the only way for capitalist markets to continue functioning is through a massive government intervention that bails out the capitalists by generating an artificial, unproductive customer base of monthly welfare recipients.

The government will essentially hand out checks to the American public, hoping to preserve the capitalist market.

That's socialism extending the life of capitalism for a few more decades. The UBI and UI are capitalism on life-support, connected to a respirator, in the ICU.

Most companies get bail outs, and subsidies because they offer value. Lazy do nothings who offer jack shit aren't going to be getting UBI so they can sit home playing Xbox.

Yeah. Sure. Pay no attention to the mass graves. It's still a pretty good idea...
 
I am no commie. I have done well in our capitalist society.

But the facts say there will be a change.

The population is growing. More and more people are entering the workforce.

The number of jobs, if growing at all, is growing incrementally.

There will be a point in which there are hundreds of thousands of people without work. We will either come up with a way to feed and house them, or there will be a bloody revolution.
Advanced technology will take tens of millions of jobs. It will force us, by necessity, not necessarily through a violent, bloody revolution, to adopt a non-profit, marketless production system. We might not call it "socialism", due to our American culture, and history, but it will be essentially socialism in principle and practice.

You're a brainwashed, working-class shithead, defending the capitalist parasites who exploit and enslave you. It's the working class, that deserves the government services and resources, not the wealthy, capitalist parasites who live off of their labor. Your mind is so warped and skewed, that you just don't see the irony of your criticism. The working-class are the ones who actually create value with their labor.

Advanced automation and artificial intelligence is going to eliminate most wages, within the next twenty years and when that happens, that's the end of capitalism, unless the government intervenes and provides everyone a UBI or UI. Without wages, there's no paying consumer. I'm against the UBI and UI because I see it as a ploy to unnecessarily extend capitalism, when it should be dead and buried in the cemetery, along with feudalism.

Socialism is inevitable because it doesn't need wages, paying consumers, or markets. It's the successor of capitalism, just as capitalism was the successor of feudalism.

Try business owner, and landlord.
 
Yeah. Sure. Pay no attention to the mass graves. It's still a pretty good idea...
Class warfare is bloody. All you have are silly Cold War death toll arguments, in your stupid attempt to invalidate socialism. Capitalism enslaved, colonized, and slaughtered a lot more people than communism, but that's irrelevant. This thread is about economics, not the history of war or imperialism. All you disingenuous shitheads have are old, worn-out Cold War capitalist propaganda. Here is what CIA operatives have to say about that:







CIA agents admitted they fabricated a lot of stories against communists during the Cold War. That's all you're parroting like a mindless turd.

Grover Furr, a Western scholar of the Soviet Union and Communist history, who unlike most Western academics who write about the Soviet Union and Communism, is fluent in Russian and had access to the Soviet archives in Moscow, completely debunks all of your bullshit propaganda against communism.
