The obvious. All of the forces and believers pushing for socialism and things like basic income, free school, free medical, handouts etc. Not a trivial number of people. Legal voters or not.

Yes as I tried to imply, ignore that, and argue your argument.

I think people here are trying to troubleshoot the concept before they've even gotten their feet wet with the concept.

Forum member "Zeb" started this thread by posting a brief report on the Fully Automated Luxury Communism concept that's been published on "one" Antonio Melonio's Cosmos page. A blog with an interest in Futurism.

It's such a brief report, though. Skeletal. Hardly more than an Executive Summary. A pittance of a prospectus.

If people want more ammunition to "beat up" on Fully Automated Luxury Communism, I recommend going to YouTube and using the YouTube search bar by entering the text string "fully automated luxury communism Aaron Bastani", without the quotation marks. There are YouTube videos in a range of sizes, from just 2 minutes, all the way upwards to over a full hour.


Fully Automated Luxury Communism floating offshore wind energy turbine generators. Since Capitalism is no longer a "thing", everyone enjoys joint ownership of all essential infrastructure like these turbines.

So, the wind spins the blades, the blades kill the birds, the birds feed the fish. Luxury automated fish feeder.

Later, the blades disintegrate, the bits fall into the ocean, the fish eat the bits, people eat the contaminated fish and die. Global warming solved. Utopia realized.

What's the output of the solar panels you use on an average day?

I think it raises the question of whether Capitalism would make sense in some future world in which there need not be any scarcity of any product or service that's essential for an ordinary human life. After technical innovations have progressed to the point where only a skeletal human work force is needed to create the products and services to support a much larger global population.

I'm not really "into" this question, because this future scenario that it's premised upon seems still quite distant to me.

Arguing about solar power generation as it currently stands... not really engaging with the idea of Fully Automated Luxury Communism. By the time FALC could become a reality, there would be much improved photovoltaic (solar) technology and/or other means of generating electrical power.

That's my reaction to it. Perhaps that's not how it's being "pitched."
