Let's get one out of the way first, I am not looking for a discussion how this or that is useful, I am tired and I am here for a laugh with anyone who is ready to engage on a humanist level instead of technological and empirical scientific point of view, especially looking for my fellow luddites.

I hate how people think socialism is a magic bullet that can solve anything and everything automatically and they need to remove capitalism and put in socialism then not do any other work. China doesn't have a magic spell, if there aren't the problems (in a technical sense) that others are having then there is always a catch, be it distillation or numbers skewed by companies, our organizational efforts shouldn't be towards making people like technology, especially s technology philosophy of which has roots in capitalist alienation, consumerism, and misanthropy.

i don't think it's utopian to think that with vastly superior social and political conditions that a lot of problems of today would be diminished or disappear.

the mechanisms behind the problems with AI displacing workers, ruining the environment, giving psychosis to alienated people, or made up bullshit about IP laws would impact a socialist society very differently.

e.g worker displacement doesn't have the same impact on someone's livelihood, socialist governments are more environmentally responsible than corporations, the kind of alienation that drives someone to a chatbox would be much more rare and positive interventions would be more available, and IP law would be completely different.
