A socialist society institutionalizes a widely split two class system with only the government clerks being between.
Not necessarily, a lot of jobs involving working with your hands do take a lot of skill and training. But there are a lot of jobs that didn't exactly require a lot of thinking, and those are the jobs that are being replaced.
If anything, industrialization gave opportunities to the lower classes to make a living. It still required a lot of manpower in those days.
For a lot of reasons, I believe the Lord will not wait that long.
I remember as a kid in the 60’s I imagined a utopia where people didn’t have to work at all to get a “living” wage. It would mean people could enjoy life and just work to make any extra money if they wanted more stuff.
Then I realized a few years ago that we have entered that utopia. People that get that Living wage for free are called Welfare Recipients, and they live off welfare, section 8, snap, etc.
It is not utopia.
And if we end up in a world where people get enough to live, but can not be productive, it will be a hell on earth. Though it will seem great at first. Kinda like that 21 year old I saw walk into a liquor store and say, “I’ve died and gone to heaven.”
No. Not really.
Check out the real Rats of NIMH. While the researcher attributed the decline to many things, the one constant was no material lack.
Utopia kills!
It’s not the robots that will rule the world, it’s the ones who build (and program) the robots.
The same human greed will still be prevalent, just using nearly invincible robots as their preferred weapon to complete hitler’s quest to take over the world.
So long as greed, laziness, and dumbed down snowflakes are grown and groomed, worker output (thus jobs) will falter. Some one has to do the work, build the cars, etc...it’s will be robots (aka computers with mobility and weapons).
The ultimate communism resolve.
We have “robots” at the Duracell plant where I work. But they are really just automatic crane arms. And they break down or malfunction and so two electricians go have a look. When the “robot” finishes moving battery trays to a pallet and the pallet is full then an old fashioned forklift comes along to move it to the warehouse. All the digital systems, sensors, alarms, and modern stuff breaks down. Murphy’s law still applies.
Looks like a good pick for my young’ns. Thanks!
Someone’s watched way too many dystopian movies.
“Smart people will always have jobs.”
Uh ? Seems that has been proven wrong by Mr.Gates and his like ‘importing brains’ from abroad already...No??
My favorite example to my son was telling him bout going to the architects office for a project and seeing ‘back room’ full of youngsters producing reams of paper prints outs etc etc ...TODAY, no such rooms full of employed young ones...
All done by Mr.Puter now, and he demands nuttin much....
I have an idea: let’s take a large portion of society that accounts for 90% of all crime and criminal activity, give them ample amounts of drugs, little or no actual education, make sure that they have completely abandoned western religion and western values, break up the concept of the nuclear family completely, and then - yank the only jobs they qualify for right out from under them.
Most of these steps are already completed.
awesome fun times ahead.
“Most of these steps are already completed.

See St.Louis, Chicago,Baltimore,Detroit etc etc etc All democrat run for decades, all ready to explode the first week the “food Stamp” computer goes down....
Exactly. This is what has me sweating. They go from at least having *something* semi-productive to do and spending *some* of their time not fighting or f*cking to being a 100% drain whose full-time, lifelong ‘career’ is to be trouble.
Keep that up long enough and we’re going to have to choose between culling them like mad dogs, walling ourselves in (AKA gated communities) or something like The Purge for real.
