The Machine: On our collective efforts to save ourselves
Leaving aside questions of if it could exist, if such a machine should exist, in my opinion, it should be used to relieve people of work, not merely to shift them to another job in the useless search for employment.<p>For too long has the capitalist replaced humans with machines and rather than returning the saved value to the labourer he has taken it for himself.<p>Automation ought to benefit the workers who should no longer need to sell their labour. Not benefit the &quot;job creator&quot; or &quot;risk taker&quot;.<p>I think the utility of the machine could come three-fold; firstly as a way of producing with applying very little labour, secondly as a way of providing what would otherwise be too labour intensive to produce otherwise, thirdly as a way of ensuring we all really are freed.
