If all labor is automated, and no work is needed, you can’t have wage labor, and therefore profit.

It would rather quickly become a gift economy

Not all industries can utilize automation, however. There would still be need for human workers in some ways, but not on the level we’ve had for a while.

Yes it would be pretty irrelevant though, and robots are getting so advanced that it could be that even inventive, intellectual, work can be performed

Wouldn’t some new industries with human needs also pop up on the way as well?

Some I guess

It’s not like human labor would just flat-out disappear, after all.

Yes but most of it

with full automation

But It would lead to a shit ton of instability and unrest that would most likely lead to an easy transition to communism aided by automated labor that can be the source of the gift economy

@yung (thanks for taking over 10 minutes to respond) No fucking shit business would work for profit, but that need would come second to the nation, but it dosen't make it capitalist either, I have told you this all before that we are fine with people making a profit, but that need needs to come second to the state.

Just because you say it is for the nation doesn’t make it not capitalist. The problem is not where the profit lands, it’s that profit is made.

this is what you refuse to acknowledge

That is what makes it Capitalist

@yung In capitalism, profit comes first and foremost, in national socialism, it dosen't, is that simple enough for you?

How doesn’t it?

show me how it doesn’t

Show me one concrete economic practice that shows that private property in Germany put profit as a lesser priority when the only function of private property is making profit

lmao

@yung In national socialism, businesses focus on benefitting the state, before profit.

Ok show me

how

Okay, give me a moment.

this is done, ignoring that for war every nation works like that

Send me via DM i’m going to sleep as it’s 2 AM

Just know that Nazi Germany had a capitalist mode of production

nite

@yung Leaving just like that in the middle of an argument? Nice.

I’m sorry dude but it’s really late

I normally wouldn’t do this but I have to

And the debate is over. Anyone who believes that privatization is anti capitalist has lost the plot, sorry.

Yeeeeeeeeah, privatization is very Capitalist, that I can wholeheartedly agree with.

@Ｋ▲ＩＳＥＲ Nope.

ech

I honestly don’t see why it isn’t.

Owning land yourself instead of having it owned by the state is pretty Capitalist.

@Ｋ▲ＩＳＥＲ How so?

this is what you quote as proof

But it could also be Syndicalist or very libertarian Socialist, depends on your amount of faith in the state.
