Why do you think people are trained to hate the idea of the public owning the means of production. If AI+robots can satisfy all of their needs, there will be no more 1% because the masses no longer need to buy anything from them.

What is needed is a post-Marxist theory of post-technological political economy. One that is also a proof that the 1% elites of the current system can only be maintained by the systematic oppression and exploitation of workers, and cannot survive once the people acquire the self-replicating means of production.

Very interesting view! Do you think such a system could be obtained with the help of AGI? Or would a change of perspective help here, i.e. human alignment to new values and goals?
