It's a possibility. It is also possible that they will steal yesterday's technology and still pretend to have moral high ground.
I do not wish China and Chinees wrong but most probably communism will work as it always do - by faking thing and bringing self-harm to their own citizens.
- eecc 6d agoOef, still kicking the “communism” horse. It’s dead Jim, especially in China it’s dead and buried
- mitxela 5d agoIn free markets, everyone steals everything they can, and stops everyone else stealing from them as much as they can. This is normal and expected. The ideology says that it will even out and converge to a fair situation.
- lazide 5d agoIt’s the same in communism/socialism except people are prevented from stopping everyone else from stealing their stuff, in the name of the ‘greater good’, and if they try to get more than everyone else get guilt tripped into giving it up under the ‘to everyone what they need, from everyone what they can’. Which incentivizes pretending you need a ton, and can give nothing. You think being useful at work in Capitalism is bad? Wait until you are accidentally useful in a communist/socialist economy. There is usually less pretending under capitalism, but people are people, so it all the same stories still play out. People are shitty, if given the chance and influenced in specific ways. Capitalism or not. We’re dealing with the current bullshit in the west because somehow people bought the line that everyone is a good person - and we totally can’t actually see or do anything if we see someone doing something bad! - and we need to always follow ‘the rules’ even when someone bad clearly isn’t. Until we find our balls, good luck.

The ideology says that it will even out and converge to a fair situation. This is all nonsense. Capitalism isn't an ideology, it's just a slight formalisation of what naturally arises. People are free to choose; they can own things; they can make agreements; they must honour the agreements or pay a penalty. Capitalism in no way is about stealing.

- hobo123 5d agoAnd by stealing you mean exchange? Or I somehow misunderstood what you consider a market to be - a place for pickpockets?
- theeyescanner 5d agoOur LLMs were trained on the widespread theft of copyright content, with clearly defined and well tested law. But they made capitalists too much money so it became defacto legal. Next you'll be telling me fairy tales like "laws are real".
