This! Every election is about politicians who want to create jobs. I want to vote for someone who wants us to have less jobs! I thought technology was supposed to make us more productive for more free time.
Before that can happen, we (as the non-ownership class) need to shift away from the capitalist mode of production, into a more advanced economy. On a global scale this is incredibly difficult, since the United States has a hegemonic influence over global economic affairs, and has been hostile to any states that attempt to subvert the capitalist mode. This is kinda sorta beginning to wane, but it’ll be a couple decades still until we see some real progress IMO.
Yep, I guess what I’m saying is that as long as people keep voting for “creating more jobs”, it’ll be difficult to get there. Voting for more jobs includes the whole ethos around those jobs being owned by a handful of people.
I may not live to see it but I’ll keep trying to push that direction when I can!
