It would argue that the technology of industrialization that brought Capitalism was not an accident. Capitalism was the natural outcome of the times. It would also argue that to try to force socialism onto the same society would be inefficient and essentially unnatural.
Technological deterministic thought sees technology as the driving force of social, economic, political, and even artistic change. In it’s weak form, it is undeniably true–technology effects the form that society and economy take. In it’s stronger form, it would claim that, barring enormous effort, Capitalism was the inevitable outcome of the technological development of the time.
It also explains why high automation and AI, that can do all or most of the work that humans do, will make Capitalism impossible.
Technology makes new jobs only until it also takes all those jobs. After that, wealth is no longer distributed through a Capitalist system and something else will emerge. Must emerge.
More down votes? Which part is not true? Please explain how new jobs will be created when any new jobs can be replaced by more AI and automation.
I love markets and creating businesses, and making money. Tell me how we will keep doing it? What is the GOPs plan to keep entrepreneurialism alive?
Can we assume that democracy is a value that will not be compromised?
Can we assume that fascism is not an option?
Right now, we have pretty much an even split in the vote.
We have an enormous industrial potential. Since the 70s, less and less of the wealth created by that potential is being distributed throughout society. This is not opinion, it is fact. The cause is automation. Imagine that slight incline of a chart taking a sharp upward slant. In terms of wealth distribution, that has already recently happened. Until the 70s, people who made extreme wealth were forced to return most of it to society. That stopped.
How are people going to vote as this effects them more and more. We already see it happening with GenX and GenZ.
What is your plan? What is the GOPs plan? LIke Global Warming, which I’m sure you are now noticing is a real thing, you can not just pretend it isn’t real.
Any real replies? Down votes without comments are just cowardly.
