Reply to comment by Idrialite in Driverless cars and electric cars being displayed as the pinnacle of future transportation engineering is just… wrong. Car-based infrastructure is inefficient, bad for the environment and we already have better technologies in other fields that could help more. An in depth analysis by mocha_sweetheart

Sorry, Marx, we are talking about reality, not your communist manifesto.

Try running a multi-billion dollar business without janitors. Or cashiers. Or stockers. See how that goes in reality.

This isn't even entirely Marxist yet. I haven't stated an opinion on who should own the results of labor. But the labor of poor people is worth far more than they receive in income. It's just undeniable.

There are probably plenty of businesses which run like that, especially with work from home these days.

And as automation increases, are you just going to attribute more of the revenue to the remaining workers, or will you admit the capital can create money without workers?
