AI and the Digital Revolution Are Bringing a Socialist Revolution
Tens of thousands of workers are falling victim to job cuts at Amazon, UPS, Nestlé, and other large companies, in an economy increasingly destroyed by AI.
Amazon, which recently said that AI would result in 600,000 lost Amazon jobs, announced in a message to employees yesterday that it would reduce its workforce by 14,000 as a starting point.
UPS said on Tuesday that it had cut its workforce by approximately 34,000 positions during the first nine months of the year. Additionally, 14,000 management positions were also eliminated.
Target is similarly planning to eliminate 1,800 corporate positions. Paramount is eliminating 1,000 positions.
Even AI winners like Meta , have recently announced layoffs in its AI unit. Rivian is also implementing workforce reductions.
RT reports that
“The layoffs at Amazon come amid a wider trend where corporate giants eliminate tens of thousands of positions as they intensify automation.
“Data from tracker Layoffs.fyi indicates that nearly 113,000 tech employees were let go among 218 tech firms globally this year.
“Two of America’s biggest tech firms announced job cuts this year as they reorganize around artificial intelligence. Microsoft plans to shed about 6,000 roles, or 3% of its staff, while Alphabet has trimmed hundreds across its Android, Pixel, and Chrome teams. Intel is reportedly preparing to cut more than a fifth of its workforce, and Apple laid off over 600 employees in California last year.”
The dumbshit American Tech Corporations worked to eliminate the need for human labor while the anti-American Biden Democrats imported 14.4 million human immigrant-invaders, thus adding to the huge supply of surplus labor. A country governed in this way has zero chance of survival.
I recently learned, if the information is correct–and these days you never know–that 42 million Americans, one-eighth of the US population, is dependent on government payments for its survival.
If 42 million Americans–the population of Canada and of Ukraine before the conflict–cannot provide for their own existence, why is Washington financing wars against other countries? How much larger of a domestic problem does a country need than 42 million people who cannot provide for themselves? Why doesn’t the US government address America’s problems?
The displacement of human labor by AI and robots will bring a socialist revolution in which the means of production will be socialized. Otherwise displaced people will have no incomes with which to provide for themselves. With AI and robotics only beginning, America already has 42 million such people. Corporate focus on increasing profits by eliminating human labor is short-run thinking run amuck. What the corporations are doing is eliminating private ownership of the means of production.
