Technology , communism....and how to change the road to hell

From the beginning of civilizations, people (not governments or corporations) have found ways to make their lives easier.
Technology is the product of this.

In today's world, the technological boom which has never seen before in the history of human civilization, is underway.

As a result of this there's more efficiency in production - of pretty much everything - from food crops , to 3D printed houses.
More efficiency means less labor intensive industries, which, in turn, leads to more unemployment.
The service industry can only fulfill so many of these newly unemployed.
There is a limit to which these service industries can grow, because without the manufacturing, the labors of people the engine in society, dies.
If you take manufacturing out of the equation, the economies velocity of money (the number of times each unit of currency is transacted) falls off. Everything stagnates.
There is no new input from the conversion of materials into products - and the employed persons wages..

And so to governments and their true employers - the corporations and banks. (if voting made a difference it would be illegal, right?).

Corporations need consumers to exist.
Corporations use technology to reduce labor costs. (Reduce the amount of people employed).
Corporations then, ultimately have less consumers because of less money circulating in the economy...

This is the old 'capitalism will eat itself' model. (if it were true, which it isn't.).

Without getting into the fallacy of corporations being anything to do with free markets ( but rather communism through the back door via government interference) .... what will this mean in the real world - going forwards?

Unemployment will be sky rocketing over this next decade or two.

The technological road that we, as a race - set out on tens of thousands of years ago- has now come full circle to a place where all the needs of people can be served without virtually any labor..

We have made ourselves redundant.

But redundant from what, exactly? Life itself? No, because work has been the function of needing to live.
From hunting, to working in the cotton mills, to drilling for oil, the reasons have always been the same.
To make a living to sustain yourself (and your family).

Does anyone think that this basic animal drive will change, simply because there is no work ?
No.
As unemployment rises, and scarcity increases, the law of the jungle will also increase.
Our civilizations have served a fantastic role of giving people the ability to sustain themselves without killing each other in the process.
It is not a default setting, though. As resources become limited, so the animal will emerge.
And we are animals, before we are humans.

If corporatism (Government + Corporatism is communism, by any other name) is allowed to continue, then societal breakdown seems inevitable to me...

And here is the really worrying part.

The model of resources that are in demand (food, water, building materials), that were for the purpose of sustaining life for growing populations (which then added to the economy) has shifted with automation.

Why would the owners of said resources, (central banks) give them to people who cannot pay for them?
They do not need their labors any longer.

The logical conclusion is one of nature, not politics.

Sooner or later the centralization of wealth and resources, will mean that the 'have's' will try to maintain the status quo, and keep what they have...while the 'have not's' will try to take the resources off them - just to sustain their lives.

Nature not politics.

Laws are arbitrary, and they will become more irrelevant , in direct correlation to the number of increasing empty stomachs.
Conflict and not cooperation will become more commonplace, until society totally disintegrates.

How do we stop this from happening?

The answer?
Simple.

Destroy central banking.
Destroy communism...(as a political ideology, not as a successful way for small communities to live).
Destroy the sheep mentality of socialism, through critical thinking and philosophy in our schools.
Destroy the legal system as it now stands , (and legalese BS) - and revert back to simple common law principles of non aggression and the honoring of contracts, and theft.

A 20 year educational program would roll back the last hundred years of degeneration, and of the wealth being concentrated further and further up the food chain.

Free markets and non aggression principals, can be the all the checks and balances in society that we need.

In free markets you are accountable. Investors investing in a company should make you just as accountable - but not so in today's legalize jungle.
Common law solves those problems. The law doesn't (or shouldn't) protect you from your own decisions.
Would you invest your money into a corporation - where you were personally held responsible for the companies practices?
If the corporation poisons people?....well, YOU poison people also? Taking profit without responsibility is an abomination of today's system.
You need to be accountable.

Just how quickly , do you think the structures and ethics of corporations would change...?

Critical thinking and philosophy in schools would destroy the current corporation ethos within decades.
Why?
Because understanding the basics, will also mean to understand what personal responsibility is.

The 'out of control corporations' that we have today were only ever allowed - or _ made possible_ - because of legalize and an absolution of personal responsibility of action.
Pension funds for example - 'invested' in the war machine,( who then create wars for growth), don't seem quite as attractive, not if you can be jailed for their actions..
Imagine a military industrial complex, where each investor is personally responsible for killing someone? (or thousands). Because of _their choice to invest in a company.

Young people become adults. If they are imbued with that sense of personal responsibility, the understanding of basic principles of common law ....it will change everything.

Will this change the current technological revolution I started with?
NO, I don't think so.

But I do think it will change our applications and perspectives of the new technologies.
I think it will focus energies on expansion to new places, while serving the community, and not at detriment to the community.

Cooperation will take over from conflict once again - and sanity will resume.

....because we've bloody welllost that, right now.
