Unfortunately I pretty much agree. If the U.S. capitalists have their way, we will all be ruled by capitalist-funded superintelligence, which will ensure U.S. dominance forever and the suppression/execution of the now-unnecessary former working class. All I can say is that we should improve ourselves, study up, try to organize in the US, and if that doesn't work, fuck off to China or some other AES country so we can at least help save everyone else in the world. My condolences to any of the Americans who insist on staying when that time comes.
I've posted this earlier:
There are only 2 ways the worker-capitalist contradiction can ever be solved:
- communism, where the abundant fruits of automation are distributed evenly among all, ala fully automated luxury communism
- exterminism (from Peter Frase’s book Four Futures), where the capitalists finally fulfill their dream of automating everything and can genocide all the unneeded workers (with robot soldiers and whatnot).
It’s quite important we bring about revolution before option 2 becomes viable.
We have a maximum of maybe 50 years before the capitalists work out all the kinks in their super-intelligence dream. Maybe the collapse of the U.S. empire will stop this, or maybe not. It is all hard to say.
