>Right now, I don't see anything like a new vision of the future coming out of the Left, just (in my view)a justified horror at the direction the country is heading. I've been trying to think about what something better might look like, and I hope people more versed in these subjects than I are doing so as well.
We've been working that out[1]: full automation, the reduction of waged work hours, and universal basic income as the road through and past capitalism. I would add workers' cooperatives and very strong antitrust laws, to strengthen the autonomy of firms that drives market economies[2].
