Robots won't be taking peoples' jobs. Corporate owners will be taking peoples' jobs and giving them to robots.

Can we get the wording right on this?

@ellenmorrisprewitt

And after the corporate owners give all the jobs to the robots, the only ones buying the corporate owners products or services will be... the robots? They won't be paying the robots? So who does that leave to buy the products or services?

@sufferforme @ellenmorrisprewitt Indeed!

Fully automated #capitalism should also automate consumption.

First step: producer rents a consumption service, ship and destroy.

Second step: consumption service rents destruction service on the producer side. Shipping saved!

Third step: producer does not produce in the first place.

What’s left is money circulating endlessly and fully free. Freedom! Freedom!!1!1!

Capitalism frees itself into the nirvana of numbers.

People are free to invent something better than #capitalism.

#automation

@praustrian @go_shrumm @sufferforme @ellenmorrisprewitt

People are not free to invent something better than capitalism, because those with capital refuse to allow their system to be replaced with something better because they rely on the exploitative and coercive mechanisms defined by capitalism to maintain and grow their wealth.

If any nation state tries to replace capitalism regardless then they are embargoed and sanctioned until they stop.

It's corrupt.

@praustrian @go_shrumm @sufferforme @ellenmorrisprewitt

You keep on insisting that capitalism involves voluntary cooperation, when we both know full well that capitalism works through monopoly, exploitation and coercion.

Why would anyone give up a large portion of the value of their labour to a parasitic class of capitalists if they weren't forced to do so?
