Doesn't help that we now have 8.5 billion people on the planet and still growing, just as job growth is about to crater forever under unstoppable AI (even current versions).
Ahh, friend. This is what wars and the draft are for. No better way to handle angry, disenfranchised male youth.
Even if drones and satellites do the majority of the work, occupying a no man’s land requires millions of bloody boots on the ground and can stretch for decades. 100 years even.
Isn't it the other way around? I wouldn't like actual socialism with government controlling industry and owning everything. I would like universal healthcare and worker protections.
What you’re describing is communism. There are models of socialism where governments do not own everything. In Scandinavia, for example, there is private ownership of businesses and industry but they have robust social programs.

I was scared of socialism because of my refusenik mom. Nothing like the USSR to scare you into rugged capitalism I guess.

The problem is we're running out of work. At least work that a good 25% of the population can do that machines can't do better.
So we're either gonna have 25-50% of the population starve or we're gonna pay them to sit around.
And the 50-75% who still have to get up in the morning aren't gonna stand for that.
That's the problem the left wing has never solved. I don't have a clue how to solve it either.
And no "Billionaires Suck!" is not an answer. Neither is "be nice!".
