@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

it's still bad

I voted for the current radical leftist govt

but it won't do any good cause the debt is already too hig

h

not anti-gun

@Deleted User Greece does have a heavy crisis.

also greek anarchists are great

love watching their molotov videos

But Greek crisis is not systematical. It is not a crisis of overproduction in Marxist sence.

It is more to do with imperialist exploitation of lesser countries.

You can bail out Greece from imperialist exploitation. But not from the crisis of overproduction.

Wasn't it a chain reaction from the housing bubble?

in US

It was a chain reaction from EU moving production to more effective economy with greater capitals. Open market where Greece can't compete.

Housing bubble is a plus.
