I was previously a market socialist
Automation seems to be an inevitable trend and the decrease of value as a result appears to point towards socialism in the future wherever far or near I cannot claim.
Communism seems to be the system that maximises individual liberty the most
(I'm not a good commie? 😢 )
However I suppose I'm a commie insofar as one points out the flaws of it being an end goal
the libertarian theory is personal production in that a future society will reach a point where the cost of automation is cheap enough to allow average people to produce and sell their own goods
this stems from the concept that the issues linked to automation stem from cost of investment
Tribes
post scarcity focuses on overall production rate which is fair but switching to a purely consumption based society would trigger stagnation
I will call my tribe Israel
Then the governemt can't get us
A new nation of Israel
It depends on the growth of supply verses growth of demand
We will be seperatists
There are limitations to people's demands
thinking like that is the problem
the cycle doesnt end because our immediate needs are met
What do you mean?
there arent any limitations
if rate of change of supply is greater than rate of change of demand assuming both values are sustainable at the start then there is no way it can stagnate assuming constant influx
Not really my type
it stagnates because of a lack of competition
why so?
People would have needs and demands and aspirations and they would establish their workplaces to follow suit and produce at quality
The quality of goods wouldn't be limited to what is profitable
exactly
but that doesnt mean its the end
Of course not, it'd just be a net increase in quality, difference is needs would consistently be met?
there will always be more to gather more to explore more improvements to be made
Right
so you can establish that standard but not much beyond that
That's not necessarily true if the aim is to perfect it and if there is a demand for better iterations of product?
any development would be very slow no incentive to innovate no competition to drive innovation
Does development solely stem from competition?
a system based in personal production continues this while still maintaining that standard
so why sell yourself short?
This comes from the assumption that development solely stems from competition and that market competition is the only form of competition substantial to development
i never said that
i said your system would be inferior not impossible
No no I get that
