I agree.
Ill always just enjoy older tech, I always have! Unfortunately America is never going to latch onto the idea of socialism. Its completely demonized here and people believe you need to work to live or youre lazy.
I disagree, regarding socialism. Everything is in constant motion, and gradual quantitative buildup results in qualitative leaps, like blowing up a balloon and it popping. This is the advantage of dialectical materialism, as imperialism and capitalism decays and the class struggle heightens, the proletariat in the US Empire will gradually come to socialism.
I hope youre right! But the majority of people sadly are uneducated and unwilling to learn in this country.
My guess is late stage capitalism will result in mass starvation and then riots. Then a new system will emerge (hopefully a good one, but thats not usually how humanity does things). I think id guess 30 years that will happen.
People's thoughts depend on the conditions of their existence, already we are seeing a collapse in red scare propagandizing.
I can’t speak to those unwilling to learn, but for those who are, @Cowbee@lemmy.ml is happy to provide reading lists.
Yep! Here's my intro ML reading list for anyone that wants it.
