    I think that the Plow is a perfect example of Capitalism's evil. In my Communist Utopia (tm) there would be no technology, and it would take five guys to till a field where normally it would take one with a plow. This creates more jobs.

      I don't like your communist utopia.
      Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

        Only if by concern for their bottom line you mean that while their workers were on strike they didn't have a bottom line or they didn't feel like paying fines to the government after the workers forced a limit to the working day, yes.

          But it's good! It creates jobs!

            More jobs isn't necessarily good. Less work done by more people, so we all have more time off is better.

              You're mistaking Luddites with Communists. Again this is because you are indoctrinated to use Communist as a blanket offensive term. As Che said, technology should be used to afford us all a better way of living...

                      So? Strikes are part of capitalism.

                        In my communist utopia, nobody is forced to work, and all dull and hard labour is done by machines.
                        The benefits are used to give everybody a guaranteed minimal income.

                          My Communist Utopia (tm) is better because it has more job creation.

                              The problem with automation is that you must inevitably increase welfare spending as time goes on.

                              Thus, fewer and fewer people making more and more money but paying out higher and higher taxes to pay for those who lost out in an increasingly madly competitive world.

                              We don't live like 19th century labourers because most countries have expansive welfare states, not just because of technology.
