For now when we talk about capitalism we talk about the inequality of pay

Top 1% makes more money then GDP of Denmark or whatever and lower class barely makes the ends meet

But as much as unemployment is a problem it's not on a level that makes governments rethink the system we operate in

But if the technology keeps advancing in a way it is now soon supermarkets will require no employees, fast food chains will fork without a single person in the building
The jobs of software engineers and so on will probably not get affected in a negative way but if all the jobs that are done by people without higher education will be replaced by robots it's hard to imagine people won't wake up and riot

It's a bit ironic because we progress with technology in that way to feed the capitalists beasts but soon the progress can actually kill said capitalists

What do you think? What happens when those millions or even billions of people working at the bottom of the "food chain" get replaced by robots and the world gets hit with enormous unemployment rates?

"What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave diggers."

Who is in power over the means of production determines the outcome.

Also lol, I can’t help but think about this video 🤦‍♂️

Synopsis pulling up to this thread like:

there needs to be a personal cap on wealth then s*** like this won't happen cause there won't always be a need

Imagine

Another person trying to tell me I can’t make past a certain point

as if you ever will make it to that point lol

i think unemployment will definetely help but its not the only thing that will bring class conciousness.

You know what's funny. Tech was supposed to have humans be more free and work less. But in 2021 it's infected every part of our lives where we feel we have to be productive or making money every single second of our lives.

What the f*** is going on? Why are we making tech to make us do more work?

Yeah owning a bill in value to sit on top of and watch the world burn around you is so much better than having the wealth be shared lol

not open to hearing anything about wealth sharing from a woman who had a baby with one of the wealthiest men ever

Who said don’t share wealth

Not believing in capping ones financial potential doesn’t equate to not wanting to share

No

technology is created under capitalism so it will serve capital

Didn't we already put this debate to rest with the internet

I have a proposition for the communiths

I'm all for robots taking over the workforce

You might want to look up accelerationism. I don't personally know too much about it, but my understanding is that it's the idea that capitalism should be sped up and allowed to run freely because its end point is self destruction anyway. The technology developed within a sped up, hyper-capitalist society will expedite that self destruction. That's the only way to be truly free from a capitalist system because once it's been destroyed we can rebuild with something new instead of wasting time fighting a pointless war against capitalism now.

It's not something that I really agree with, but it's interesting to think about and it sounds like you're already thinking along those lines. Just be careful what you read though cause it's been adopted by both far left and far right, neo nazi groups.

Every system creates its own demise broski
