The post above says in part
AC: It's stimulating to hear you say this, because the left seems to have a lot of illusions about this. The slogan should really be, Less work,' not More work.'
"'Less work, more money.' And that's a vulgarity too. Less work, more leisure.' We have built up over the centuries the technological capacity to release people from that kind of servitude."
AC: So then you have to talk about redistribution of wealth.
"Free distribution. A completely new ethos. And we are on the verge of it. "
I find this an interesting view here that reflects the Marxist theory that automation will lead to communism because the productive capacity of society leads to a surplus of goods & services and eliminates work.
