Ask HN: Will capitalism survive the robot revolution?
I believe that capitalism is doomed. The sooner the better for humanity because capitalism is more dangerous than communism.<p>The best way to expose the problem of capitalism is with this joke &quot;Give a man a fish, and he will eat for one day. Learn him to fish, and you destroy a market.&quot; Capitalism is also leading people to harm (health) and exploit other people.<p>Communism was clearly a false good idea. Liberalism and capitalism (with competition) clearly provide a motivationnal power for which owe most of the health, technical and scientifical progress.<p>However, it also come with its perversion like the war, junk food and entertainment business and human exploitation as producer or consumer.<p>Humanity is going through a continuous evolution process and capitalism is one stage of it. New models will emerge fixing the problems of previous models and preserving their good properties.<p>It&#x27;s a long time that I think about this and try to find what could be the next evolution step.<p>My conclusion is that the working model used in science and more recently with open source could be a good candidate because it provides exponential growth which beats capitalism. Some kind of high level control will be needed so that humanity doesn&#x27;t shoot itself in the foot as would happen soon or later with pure liberalism and capitalism. It already exist today but it is currently frequently corrupted by greeediness of capitalists.<p>The robot revolution will not suppress all human work. So I don&#x27;t think that it might affect capitalism that much. I believe that it would make trade business more prevalent.
