Everyone is like:
"Ban Landlords"
"Ban Private Healthcare"
"Fair Wages"
I'll do one phrase that just encompasses everything:
"Ban Capitalism"
But landlords and unfair wages can exist without capiralism
I dont think anyone wants feudalism back though
Conservatives be like: "One day I'll be a lordship, and then people like me better watch out!"
I like the idea of making capitalism unnecessary through automation. Eliminate jobs, eliminate customers, eliminate profits. Make the system produce what we need all by itself. The rich have a similar system already, they call it passive income - set up some deals and money starts flowing to you all by itself. We can do the same with everything - passive prosperity.
Lol. If you don't get rid of capitalism, you'll just be jobless and starving while the rich reaps all the hard work resulting from the robots that the working class have built.
I mean, just look at how the UBI idea get repeatedly shot down every time its proposed.
Dude, getting rid of capitalism is exactly what I was describing. Sorry I didn't craft it into a meme for you.
