      That’s what the ultra rich want. They want everyone else to die so the ultra rich will have the entire planet to themselves. There will no longer be overcrowding and all there will be no more pesky cockroach people scampering about ruining all the beautiful beaches.

        Really? Who are they going to exploit when nobody is left? Who are they going to sell their shitty products to? Who are they going to lord over?

        My point is: Just because they don’t care if you die, doesn’t mean they want everyone to die. They need people a lot more than regular people need them.

          This. Without regular people, they have nobody to exploit. They could exploit more robots, but robots don’t have the same needs as humans. They could program them to have the same needs, but then that would just be going back to square 1, because then they’d have to pay the robots so they could buy the things they need.

          They believe they will build autonomous machines that will take care of them. What do you think the AI hype is all about?

      Agreed, we should follow the steps of other actually existing socialist projects in order to get rid of the ultra rich in ways that have historically proven successful.
