A significant many conservatives love Ai cause it’ll replace immigrants but a lot of us see the writing on the wall the tech is overhyped garbage that’ll crash soon in the next few years and cause the economy to go down with it, however, let’s say that Ai and robotics manage to reach a level of automation where they’re able to replace human workers, obviously this would have negative implications for people that want to migrate but it would also hurt the countries citizens since they will and probably are, going to be forced out of the earning a wage, leaving entire portions of society jobless I don’t know which scenario is worse a recession unlike anything we’ve seen or a society where most people are jobless either way conservatives are dooming their country and people just to “own” brown people it’s almost comedic

Well, that's all great for us as Marxists. The greater the class contradictions, the greater chance we have of overturning capitalism. We should not oppose the development of new technologies because it increases class contradictions. If we seek to destroy or halt the development of new technologies because it increases class contradictions, then that is ultimately a reactionary position, as it is the desire to hold back historical progress for the purpose of making capitalism more stable and keeping it around longer, which is obviously the opposite of what we want as Marxists. We should always support the development of the forces of production while also trying to show to the working class how they would benefit more if these new technologies were placed into public hands. The more technologically developed a capitalist society is, the stronger our case will be. If this automation you are predicting comes about, then the job for us Marxists will be far easier.
