It really feels like the purpose of AI is realizing the capitalist's dream of the perpetual value machine which would solve the problem of human labor.

Hard to feel optimistic for such a future.

We need more class traitors.



Capitalists really want slavery again.


Why again? It was never gone, just in foreign lands. There is a reason why China became our workbench.


Or we need to end capitalism. Once scarcity is not an issue allocation of capital becomes more apt to planning than competition.


We need less class traitors. Imagine the power of the working class if they weren't fooled into worrying about illegals, poors, and ethnics.


Yeah, 'cos fuck them no-good-for-nothin' poor people.

I don't know if that's what you meant, but that's what I'm hearing.


I suspect the GP meant the working class are being tricked into thinking the "illegals, poors and ethnics" are the evils that are holding the working class back by Republicans.

Nevermind the fact that casual bigotry against working class people (blue collars and uneducated are too dumb to know what is good for them) is just as repugnant as what you thought they meant.


I meant more that the elite corpo classes of society need to become class traitors and help workers. Nick Hanauer is the only person in living memory that I would consider to be an actual class traitor and champion of the people.

His involvement in the "Fight for $15" movements have literally lifted people out of poverty through substantial lasting democratic change.

I can't think of another person like him, if you know one please share their name because their stories need to be shared.
