The robots take over in China..... time to think SOCIALIST UTOPIA

Robots replace workers in China  Socialist  theorists had a vision of machines COMPLETELY replacing human labor one hundred years ago.But what happens to capitalist profit system when this really becomes possible ? Think about Karl Marx's labor theory of value and the traditional division of labor in society.
Does a country like modern China tell millions of low skilled working class people to drop dead ? I think the present is an ideal time to revive UTOPIAN thinking.
The whole purpose of science and technology was to make life more civilized for humanity-not more miserable.
Even in the conformist 1950s in America I recall reading Science Digest articles titled : " What will we do with all our leisure time in 2000 ? "
What will we do with our lives ?




Robots take over Chinese factory-completely !
