Say, in the next few years, fat engineers in Silicon Valley invent some robot that can do everything a regular human worker can do.
Why wouldn't the Bourgeoisie immediatly mass produce this and exterminate us with it ? Why would they keep us alive ?
Can they actually win the class war ?
Obviously we're not there yet, but it's getting closer isn't it.
Idk, maybe they all get fucked by climate change anyway, that would be funny.
capitalists know commodity production isn't profitable anymore without artificial scarcity, planned obsolesence, and rent-seeking, so they turn everything into subscription services, destroy surpluses, and deliberately enshittify everything so it doesn't last as long. why the fuck would they invent a robot that does everything? then nobody would make wages anymore and nobody would be able to buy their commodities. then they would have to make the robots kill all the proles. but the proles are most of global society, so then you would have this ghost town infrastructure for billions of people who no longer exist. what is the fucking point of that? but your entire hypothetical is sci fi nonsense anyway. they aren't anywhere close to doing that, I don't care how impressed you are by sora vids or ai generated anime tiddies. that shit is not happening any time soon.
>>2786121Because if they don't, China (who they stupidly left out of the international bourgeoisie club) will automate and start stealing their profit margin instead.
What you said would be correct if the entirety of the international ruling class was on the same page, but they decided they HAD to harass the periphery into having to make their own club, so tough luck
Maybe but not before they can create actual reliable supermen with eugenic that also share their memes/genes.
The elites are intelligent and prosocial but often bodily dysgenics, mentally ill or too sexually deviant the last ones being highly negatively correlated with fertily and often need IVF to reproduce.
But really all these talk about genocide may it be "prole genocide" or "trans genocide" are completely passé, you're not aware of where reactionary elites stand at if you still believe they're gonna do Hitlor shit or exterminate entire demographics. What the elites want is to turn the planet into India and the common man into an indian: conservative degenerate smelly slums populated by idiotic superstitious easy to mobilize proles living in squalors and subjected to all vices and assault on the sense conservatism, the perfect natural slave for the perfect natural tyrany. All while techno priest brahmans with weird sexual life rule the global favella from their walled garden. Sure the stench of the bidonvilles will sometimes creep in but hey man you're the kind of the hill!
Leftists, though not me, are too afraid to say it so crudely because they don't want to be called racist for not wanting Global Bharat Favela Underclass World cuz wholesome brown ppl or wathever so they invent counterintuitive obscure narratives about "genocide".
>could
they have been doing it for decades, thats what all the wars of total prole death are for
The robot would kill them out of indifference the way humans kill animals out of indifference, by destroying the environment that supports us and displacing us, that would include the bourgeois. Also they need consumers for whatever they happen to manufacture.
>>2786117No, how many times do we have to go over this. The bourgeoisie are not magical demons that can do whatever they want. They don't know how to code robots or operate drones, even if they did like in any war the side with more people always wins in the end ffs. The moment that full automation becomes a thing is the moment they no longer have anything to bribe the working class with to prevent their own downfall. If everyone in this scenario is acting out of pure self-interest than any attempted genocide by the upper class towards the lower will just result in an immediate unconcious annihilation of the bourgeois out of self-defense by the working class. IP doesn't grant power, muscle grants power and we have far more of it than them.
>>2786117This was one of the paths to communism in Four Futures, I believe. The rich kill the proles and live in an automated robo society, money loses meaning, communism achieved. Well, except the part about labor being life's prime want. The gay space communism people always seem to skip that part.
capitalism literally cannot even exist without a proletariat, read a book retards
>Could the Bourgeoisie win the class war by exterminating us?
no
>Say, in the next few years, fat engineers in Silicon Valley invent some robot that can do everything a regular human worker can do.
they cant do that
