You know I'm right. You're not that dumb.
TECHNOLOGY (Adanced Automation, Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Systems, Robotics) = COMMUNISM.
Sorry to burst your 70+-year-old bubble. I know the Western cold war propaganda did a really good job of brainwashing you into believing communism is inherently evil. The American ruling class was behind all of that brainwashing, in order for you to be in the delusional, self-sabotaging state you're in now.
When technology significantly reduces, wage-labor, it eliminates the market. No wage-labor = no paying consumers = no market. The working-class is forced to produce everything to meet their needs, not for a profit. If they fail to take control of the means of production
(the facilities, machines, robots, mines, raw materials..etc), they will, at best, become slaves of the capitalist class and at worse, they will be consigned to the compost heap. The so-called culling of the herd.
Now of course, you've been brainwashed by the ruling class, to believe that you're just a temporary working-class Joe, you're not an ordinary member of the working class. You're a very special working-class person, who is destined to become a millionaire or even a billionaire. Your present financial and social status is just a short inconvenience. Right? You and your loved ones are not really of the "herd", that will be culled. You will be doing the culling yourself probably or standing proudly next to those who execute it. Many working Americans are under this stong delusion.
You can't really blame them after decades of being the aristocracy of labor. Between the late 1940s and early 80s, American workers were the best-paid labor force in the world. They made the most money and had the best benefits, and many of them were unionized as well. The uber-rich capitalists were paying much more in taxes as well and made less money. But hey, they were still rich. The good'ol days were due to the new deal of the 1930s, fought for by us evil socialists you like to demonize. If it wasn't for the American left, that golden era of our economy would've never happened.
You wouldn't have Social Security, a forty-hour work week, unemployment insurance, workers comp, none of that. Medicare was thanks to another "push" by the left in the 1960s. You wouldn't have that either. You right-wingers are a bunch of fucking ingrates.
Communist democracy is coming. That means you and I will own the means of production, all of the factories, machines, mines, raw materials..etc, together. The alternative is slavery to the rich, who already own all of that stuff. They're not going to need anyone to work for them for a wage, because advanced automation, will greatly reduce human labor. Ironically the rich will organize production in the same way communists are planning to organize it, but the only difference between them and us, is that they're only 5% of the population.
Under capitalism, the wolves are the capitalists and they take pride in being wolves. Their employees are their sheep (shorn and slaughtered). But in communism, the sheep, the working class who sell their labor (their lives) to capitalists (the wolves), become the wolves. So you can remain a sheep, and allow the capitalist wolves to shave and slaughter you, or you can become a wolf. The capitalists are going to be forced to adopt high-tech communism. I advise you to join us and become a wolf.
