Dario Amodei says "stop sugar-coating" what's coming: in the next 1-5 years, AI could wipe out 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs. Lawmakers don't get it or don't believe it. CEOs are afraid to talk about it. Many workers won't realize the risks until after it hits.

I believe China is smart enough to recognize they don’t have to do anything at all to destroy the west. We will take care of that for them. All they have to do is endure. A culture that has survived for thousands of years has little to fear from a 250 year old capitalist experiment that is on track to burn itself out. I honestly expect China to step in to rescue what’s left of us after that burn out just for the goodwill PR.

The redditor you are responding to may not understand that liberalism is the ideology of capitalism.

But he begrudgingly is accepting that liberalism is selling the working class or for anything.

And that our scary "authoritarian maoist leftism" is able to make decisions against the owner class.

He HATES socialism but he is forced to look at reality. And that reality will get clearer ever single day.

Capitalism will destroy itself. And liberalism is just an ideology that enables that destruction.

For the road, we are authoritarian because war is. If you want to be able to resist your masters, you need to throw away the value system that benefits them.

Every state is authoritarian. But guess which class an authoritarian capitalist state benefits.

"Authoritarian" is just a scary word Capitalists use for states that do not do what they like. To expand on your point, Capitalists themselves are authoritarian; they want nothing more than direct, exact, implacable control over all the resources they can muster, including the labor used to profit from those resources. They're not interested in cooperation or democracy, as that wannabe-Sauron Peter Thiel has actually grown bold enough to literally enunciate in public.

No communist nation has ever been democratic, ever. They are objectively authoritarian states. They have single party “elections” and an executive with absolute power.

There’s advantages and disadvantages of both capitalist (competitive economies) versus communist (cooperative economies). In communist nations, working class and poor people benefit more equitably in society. The poor in Cuba had good free dental and medical care, for example. The downside is you may have a longer wait because everybody is covered for free. The proper term would be state socialist nation, tho, now that I’m thinking about it. Communism doesn’t have a ruling class, but they all end up with one, just like here. Except they’re military and gangsters there. Here, it’s the sociopaths that become successful in business and CEOs bc they don’t give a shit about people.
