Globalism in modified version of Internationalism(almost entirely subverted) to serve Capitalist interests
Automation GANG
This is where revolution comes in, I don't doubt for a second that Bill Gates isn't working on some super virus disease 100x worse than the spanish flu right now. Or that Elon Musk isn't developing killer robots etc.
What I'm saying is that how long can the population of people tolerate capitalism? Since we know that what we need full automation for communism, shouldn't we pursue automation regardless of the side effects?
If we were to become luddites, we would be sacrificing a greater amount of the worlds nature resources and ecology based on some fear of what may lay ahead. But fuck it, the world is shit already, millions are dying needless deaths everyday. Our lives aren't anything special. The only thing to do is create conditions so inhospitable in centres of capital that revolution is the only solution.
This will require information, planning, organizing etc to make the proletariat class conscious. And the revolution may be extremely bloody and drawn out etc. But that's life and that's history. If we do nothing we'll all be killed off in 35 years and the planet will be toast, if we accelerate we'll have a chance in some global revolutionary moment on a shorter timeframe.
If this seems like a Faustian bargain - yes it is. But there really isn't any other choice.
Whoops was that flag a mistake or not?
Say tech makes it so that what previously took 100million farmers each 40 hours a week to feed the world can now be done in half the time.
Organized capitalism - half the workers are laid off, porkie doubles profits, a welfare system paid for by the employed workers gives just enough welfare to the unemployed so they dont revolt.
Communism - all the workers keep the same rewards and work 20 hours a week on average.
Isnt that how tech works in the most simplified example?
That's not "communism", that's just full-employment social-democracy.
They own the land and might have voted for this arrangement bc it is now the new socially neccesary labour time.
What would be needed more to call it communism?
How about the abolish of the wage system and production for exchange?
Neither of those thing are happening in my abstraction of the tech developement under communism
Yet the only difference between your example of capitalism and communism is that people work less
If i rewrite it like this:
Capitalism + automation = less workers are paid, the difference goes to capitalists
Communism + automation = less working hours on average, workers material benefits from production are unchanged.
Is that succdem?
