It’s the old meme: under capitalism, automation means layoffs. Under communism, it means more paid vacations.
ohhhh, that makes sense. I was thinking that if automation doesn't mean fewer hours of work then it still sounds like infinite growth on a finite planet.
Why shouldn't automation fundamentally displace workers? There's less work that needs to be done! That should be a wondrous, beautiful thing. All that remains is to distribute the goods appropriately. Am I wrong?
