what if communism is inevitable on a long enough timeline, it’s just the flavor of the inevitable communism that changes depending on the initial inputs start out communist, it’s a very strong and oppressive flavor: always(?) start out capitalist and maybe the communism flavor that arrives is some kind of weird amalgamation (fully automated luxury communism or some other strange flavor, maga communism(?))

I was attending a seminar on AI and future trends yesterday. The keynote speaker (from the US) emphasized the growing divide between asset owners and labor providers So pretty much what Marx wrote three volumes about some 140 years ago, during the previous Industrial Revolution Time is a flat circle, nihil novi sub sole, etc

Yep it wasn't about capitalism per se as a system but the inherent contradictions of large scale peak capitalism and how it exploits the workers

For all the flak that Keynes is taking from the Austrian economics bros, there’s something to be said about having a healthy, robust consumer class (≈ the middle class if you plot disposable income onto a bell curve). Yet automation has taken away many of their physical jobs in the late 1800s and throughout the 1900s. Now it’s doing the same to creative jobs, and it’s threatening cognitive jobs in the near term too. I try to be an optimist but it’s hard to ignore the risk of self-cannibalization of the entire system eventually (a vicious cycle of unemployment / impoverishment and dwindling demand leading to more job losses)

Because at end of day it doesn't matter how many choices the consumer has if their material conditions aren't met

Perfect opportunity for me to take out this piece I wrote 1 month ago, saying exactly the same thing, but with more unnecessary words 😆 https://x.com/aIixkun/status/1877714981187355087
