Literally underpants gnomes-tier political theory.

@Aghost it's an example, they could build buildings, wash the streets, build roads, idk

if you are smart, you keep them happy and well fed. More labor for your buck, less chance of revolt.

@Grenade123 dead slaves don't need supported into elderly care though

the state up until recently had been doing a good job of keeping us slaves happy enough not to revolt.

@Misomania they need to get old for them to need elderly care.

@JohnOakman hmm well thats wrong obviously.
but what are slavs doing in germany in the first place? was probably the thing that crossed hitlers mind
work should be compensated

but you can just release them into the wild at the border of your territory

less of a fuss, they are old so not likely to live long, and you can say "look, you earn your freedom!"

@Atkins you are not wrong

its why idiot marxist keep trying and end up with something so horrible they get amnesia then say it never happened.

im fine with marxist experiments
just do it in a place thats already deprived of... food, and not wealthy nations

we're headed back toward age of corporate gulags still

big part of their love of communism I think is that

Ever-increasing automation and AI integration is likely to cause a commie renaissance.

big love for peopels love for communism is
A. they want free money and they think they'll get it
B. They've been lied to by school/the state about career prospects

C. mass immigration pushing wages down and ruining job vacancies

think of it this way: you work at amazon and they own the apartment complex you live in, the banks you do business at, the stores you shop from, the car you drive, the networks you communicate on, the health network you want to use... everything in your life is owned by the corporation you work for. If they want you to work yourself to death all day everyday for basically nothing then you do it or lose it all

and the state is encouraging this

Don't worry the market will adapt @Misomania /s

Automation and AI will cause concentration of wealth in those who own the capital and patents -> fewer low and unskilled workers necessary (and those positions that remain competed for globally or by third-world immigrants) -> collapse in wages and standard of living -> massive obvious income disparity fracturing society -> Class Consciousness 2.0!

and the corporations encourage the state.

step out of line of your corporate masters and you lose it all and get blacklisted from working again

Ffs

@Atkins patents are only a thing the government can enforce.

My internet is so bad

I couldn't send any message

@Grenade123 most patent defense is done privately

tell that to china

@LEER adapt to what. Right now most industries are monopolies. ex: all offbrand food is produced by 6 vendors

they sue using laws adopted by the government.

which is why Disney keeps fucking with things like fair use.

@Grenade123 you can also starve slaves and oppress them so they can't revolt.

to keep Mickey from entering public domain

>fewer low and unskilled workers necessary
>bring in millions of low and unskilled migrants
>profit?

@JohnOakman starving increases chance of revolt, not decreases.

it also leads to less production

and more man power needed for defense.

@Aghost why would it be wrong to use slaves to build railroads or harvest crops?

cheaper to keep them fed and happy.

look at the american public
