50/50. Well we've never talked before. But I know you're an awesome badass~

Took it. Look at comments.

I took it.. I think it was 49 or something like that. .w.

Some are really obscure, and some are obvious to anyone who's ever noticed me say something.

If someone doesn't know you're a commie, they're just stupid :I
OH YEAH YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF ME AGAIN
Amy: Well, yeah, that'd be cool to have robots, but pretty soon they're going to take over our jobs
Me: That's where the commies win -
I actually wrote something about why mechanization of jobs was an advantage. I'd have to go find it, though.

Surely you've heard of the robot takeover of the economy. Er, the automation of jobs.
While the robots are great for obvious reasons, such as taking difficult or dangerous jobs that no one wants, jobs are still an important thing. You need a job to make money.
Every publication on robots in the workforce always adds the same point: what about unemployment?
When robots fill positions, humans become obsolete in that field. The robot is of more value. Therefore, a human loses a job. Let's say this human is incapable of any other job. The best word to describe this situation is "Crap."
Everyone views this as a bad thing- and from a purely business-based standpoint, it is- but let's look at this from a different angle.
Eventually, all but the jobs required to build the robots are taken over by robots. What this sounds like is "Become an engineer, or become unemployed."
But what about a society like the one mentioned in my previous note on welfare? (I know, I know, communism, let's not think of it as communism right now, okay? That's not communism, is it? Is that communism? At least I don't think it is. Maybe it is. But that's a later discussion, right now we're talking about robot takeovers...automation of jobs.)
Where everyone works to the best of their ability and things are provided as needed.
In such a society, does it matter if robots hold most of the jobs?
Think about this, the robots hold most of the jobs. Human work is not as necessary, and yet goods are still being produced at the same rate if not higher. No single person owns the means of production. That means more things and less work.
No one needs to hold a job to survive, for the most part. Workers cannot be exploited. But work done will still be a good thing. (Again, assuming the theoretical society, not the one we have now.)
More robots+new system=more production and less work, less exploitation, no worry about unemployment because jobs are not (fully) necessary for survival.
My logic is nonexistent today (this is nonsense- so forgive me, I'll probably edit this with some real arguments later), but the point is mostly that in this theoretical society, robots taking over menial jobs is not a bad thing. Therefore, in order to eliminate the problem of unemployment, this society must be our goal.
At least, something like that. -
*Claps* Commie victory!

I have to quit Stalin on my Stalin test review, so I can get good Marx. I'll have to Trot along now.

In order to get that pun, you have to look at it from all Engels.
I'm done mao. -
