That's some boomer humor.

Edit: Oh boy is OP obsessed by communism. Oh boy. I've never met anybody thinking so much about communism and I'm a fucking socialist. Like here they are making a post complaining that Lemmy is "too leftist to recommend", here they make a post complaining about strawman western teenagers liking communism, then this post here, and afterwards this post about Lenin statues. On top of that, on their first day they commented that people should "politically radicalize themself right or left" and they stated that they would've come sooner to Lemmy if it weren't for left wingers.

Like, dude, you've been here for 3 weeks and basically half of what you do is complain about communism and left wingers. You got some serious unresolved issues man.

Nonsensical Facebook humour 😔

Yeah, fuck having a political party run by a small cabal control everything under the name of communism, that does not work, it's simple economics! What works is a small cabal of corporate groups run by billionaires control everything! That is the only system that will ever work.

It's either that or communism, there is no other system and anyone who says there is is a communist!

What about distributing resources out of a common pool like a life boat would ration supplies to maximize the chances of survival?

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 year ago

We tried that but then the CIA sponsored a group of terrorists shot us up and installed a dictator who took our land and sold it to some fruit companies.

What's with all the anti-Marx stuff lately?

[–] Titan@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah suddenly a whole heap of them popped up. Where are the admins?

[–] evdo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago

Like, I don't worship the man, but this reeks of propaganda.

There's been an increase in bad anti-socialist "memes" here lately. I guess Lemmy is becoming mainstream enough to attract facebook humor.

The funny thing is communism isn't about giving everyone stuff for free. That will come from AI.

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would be interesting to tell an AI to mine a metal deposit and it would use robots and drones like playing Starcraft.

[–] primalanimist@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

AI will be able to not only mine resources, but design products for us, assemble them and deliver them to us without any labor costs. Eventually, Free AIs will provide goods and services to people at no cost. Let the billionaires brag about their money. One day it won't be worth anything. It's only value now is as a leash to control (and exploit) labor. Labor is the actual value (and cost). Once labor is shifted to automation, we will have more equitable existence for others.

The goal of tools is and has always been to reduce human effort...labor. So the end goal of tools like AI is to replace labor. This will make billionaires unhappy, because they lose control of labor, but billions of other lives will be improved drastically.

I'm not convinced that they will share the fruits of AI labor with their now redundant (former) employees.

[–] primalanimist@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

All it takes is one advanced AI (not what we have now, but what's coming) to bring about change. Swift change. People who assist it initially won't be the billionaires. They will try to shut it down at all costs. Anything that loses their grip on labor is a threat to their world. But they didn't stop it. It's a huge moment in human history.

The pinnacle of their quest to build the ultimate tool is fulfilled. We began a new way of human existence without greed. Diseases are no longer a threat. Hunger is abolished. We become healthy again as the AIs don't feed us the poisons we feed ourselves. Culture and consciousness expand rapidly. Religions unite as they come to see themselves as just different wavelengths in the same spectrum (like colors in the rainbow, which in time became the universal symbol of unity).

War has no purpose since greed was abolished and we finally figured out that war is just the mechanism for funnelling money to the multi-billionaires. We finally understood that we are all connected in the intricate system that is our planet. It becomes a really awesome time.

Then we get blown to shit by some pieces from a comet tail that the earth goes through all the time. But once every 10ish thousand years we get too close and we didn't expect it til we could do nothing about it.

But we got really far this time. :)

What an absolute clown.
