i am predicting what liberalism will do, not advocating it. am also not a "random person" thank you vry much.
it's a natural progression for the ruling class to simply buy us off as the cost aligns w the benefit. i'm not calling it justice! so stop being mean to me.
i also disagree that it's a recapitulation of marxism, completely. it will not be a rearrangement of power structures or redistribution of productive capacities, just a subsistence payoff. Probably paid in proportion to the scale of social unrest among the (ex) workers. I think it has been demonstrated relatively well that marx's predictions of discrete steps of evolution/revolution based on growing class awareness are not coming to pass. I don't think you can call his predictions correct if we reach a post-scarcity, post-labor economy with the working-class still never having achieved much consciousness at all. so far, capacity to befuddle and obfuscate far outweighs common drive to seek the bare truth of the power structures and/or do anything about them. No, I'm not recapitulating marxism, I'm predicting a course of things quite to the opposite thank u very much.
The question is open however whether things will travel more along Marx's predicted course once the common laborer is rich in free time to think about his powerlessness. My bets are with the obfuscators, though, personally, as life is worth living for videogames and porn alone.
Now please actually read this post and stop taunting me with ur BS that proves u just skim me.
