Needed a bit of optimism in my day, and thinking about this possible scenario made me feel better. Perhaps there’s light at the end of the tunnel?
The light is an oncoming fascism train and you’re smiling at it like it’s the sun.
At the heart of Fascism is ignorance. Ignorance can be readily defeated, we just haven’t figured out the best way to do so in the information age with social media creating BS faster than facts. Time keeps going, and beyond the coming tide of Fascism, is something else. As long as we can stay informed, and educated, Fascism can be overcome. It’s never taken hold permanantly because it’s built on unstable bullshit and populism. It will come, it will pass, and when it does, whoever left will want to move avawy from the ignorance that caused this rise of Fascism in the first place.
Techno fascism will occupy most of the output of nuclear fusion to power AI centers and build automated robotproducts. Sorry buddy, but nuclear fusion is Completely and directly playing into the techno fascists hands
They said this about the rise of fission, electricity, steam power, computers. The extra production was either captured by capitalists, or simply didnt materialze. What’s different this time?
No, if you want to see that era of global prosperity, you need to address a lot of deep, fundamental issues that humanity has trouble even acknowledging let alone actually acting toward fixing. edit: Though, stopping fascism would be a necessary first step.
Fascism is a consequence of capitalism. Free (or very cheap) energy would not end capitalism outright, it would just reduce a cost in how profit is made.
The only hope for our collective future is socialist organizing. I highly recommend that anyone interested begin reading about the topic using books written by socialists and by joining a socislist organization or attending their events.
