class-struggle-anarchism replied to your post “I’m Seeing Some Weird Critiques Of Fully Automated Luxury Communism”

most advocates of FALC think we should be pushing for full automaton under capitalism first

Wait, what?  Where?  I’ve never seen this from FALC people but also like I don’t see a lot of them who are super serious?

from everyone I know of who has written about it I suppose, eg Bastani at Novara, Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams…like the cover of their books says “Demand full automation” on the cover – they mean full automation now, under capitalism, the idea is that it teams up with a UBI and helps us all work less as a stepping stone to communism… don’t see it happening personally. There might be a whole lot more to it I’m not aware of though, which FALC people are you talking about?

I’m mostly familiar with the tumblr tag TBH and ugh that sounds like liberal nonsense.
