All that may be true in the large open democracies, but it's already false in Russia, China, North Korea, Vietnam, and beyond... and based on the current propaganda-driven trends of mindless angst driving most democracies today, you could live most anywhere else and see a similar outcome in just a decade or two.
So in the next 20 years, which do you think will happen first: dictatorship by plutocrats elected to office, or by plutocrats who overthrow elections after they lose?

- radarsat1 2y agoSure but I was responding specifically to a scenario proposing that rich people would develop fully automated factories thereby cutting out their reliance on workers. Getting even halfway there still leaves plenty of room for revolution, I'm just responding to the 100% automated scenario as being unrealistic.
