Automation, Capitalisms Mismanagement of it, and an Argument for Communism - A Series on Automation Part 2
One of the most undeniably insidious aspects of modern Capitalism is the way it handles automation. It takes something that should be improving all of our lives by raising production, cutting working hours for equivalent pay, and raising wages overall, in a move towards a better world, and hideously deforms it into the bane of the working class. When the worker asks for an increase in wages (a fair request given the increased productivity of the age) is automation not one of the first things they are threatened with? Has the worker seen an honest to God decline in hours for equal pay since the actions of the original labor movement? If anything their position has been made more precarious, the average hours the worker toils has increased, and the standard of living declined. And what does the media shriek at the working classes? “More labour! More exhaustion!” It cries relentlessly. This utter disfigurement of what should be a key instrument in humanities salvation into one of it’s worst enemies for the enrichment of the privileged Capitalist class is but another damning reason for the abolition of Capitalism and the institution of Communism. A system capable of utilizing automation to a superior end. In cutting working hours and raising the standard of living for all. In creating a better world!

(This is part two of a series. Part three should be released shortly and afterwards they will all be compiled into a master post)

property-is-theft:

I’m tired of right wingers using the argument that if the minimum wage is raised the automation of the workforce would be intensified and the working class hurt. In my opinion this is not an unfair analysis. The Capitalist class is greedy, and controlling. If the workers gained a higher wage and it took a cut of their profits than it is easy to assume they’d react in a greedy and controlling manner. However when making this analysis right wingers don’t seem to really think this is a bad thing. For some fucked up reason they don’t see the fact that automation - something which should be improving all of our lives - is being used as a threat and bludgeon against the working class constitutes a deeper problem with the Capitalist system. They do not bother to ask what kind of bullshit system leaves workers with no means to access a greater portion of the wealth THEY have generated without putting their lives at stake. They just continue to bootlick.
