this has shown to be able to change
and each change has bought more social liberty
and as marx argued it is always according to class interests, which he also argues will end in a class-less world
but if capitalism makes most people content, how will there be an interest to change?
it won't
Change is present outside of interest.
but it also currently doesn't make most people content if you look outside the first world
and marx argues that capitalism will degrade over time
The idea is to let Capitalism give people a kick in the teeth
When I say content I don't mean happy, I mean too comfy for a revolution
Which is what hopefully will happen when automation develops to an even further extent, at which point a lot of people would have their careers at risk
well my point still stands I think
>degrade over time
Will that happen though?
@Deleted User I haven't read any marx about this, but it's called the fall of profits
The only thing realistically I can see is automation
@Deleted User you speak as if capitalism wouldn't have any crisis every 20 years.
automation is also one thing that will lower the chances of capitalism
A significant financial crash at the point where automation is also prevailent will tip the balance, I believe
But even if socialism never existed as a theory, automation would force people to think about it
So i believe we'll hit a socialist/communist type of civilization once automation gets everywhere
@Deleted User once it gets everywhere, it wil be neccesary, but a more interesting question in my opinion is whether only a good about of automation also will do this
The thing is the ruling class will do whatever they can to stop the onslought of automation, because they know this too
@Firefly It has crisis but it's far from purges and breadlines nowadays
You'll see more of things like UBI in the near future
And automation tax
automation tax? I highly doubt it
Perhaps even legislation
@Deleted User did you experience capitalist crisis?
Yeah
I've missed it
Biggest threat ever = once automation hits, the elites won't let it go, they'll create armies and everything, they won't need the consent of the people
If that happens there's no going back
Elites will rule forever
@Deleted User the idea that the elite would rather purge than let go sure is scary
@Deleted User where did you experience crisis?
Greece
>tfw your nation's proletariat is disarmed
why live
what's the employment rate there?
>being a lefist
>being anti-gun
Sounds like an oxymoron
How do you revolt if you're anti gun
is it still really low?
it's low
