And yet if you call someone anti-materialist over this, it breaks their mind for weeks.

Not wanting your quality of life to significantly degrade because tech bros are stealing to commons again is anti-materialist got it.

It is if you don't have any realistic plan whatsoever to actually eliminate the problem, and instead choose to endlessly complain about it.

The coming climate apocalypse is bad.

You moron. You swine. You sniveling worm. Can't you see that pointing out that something is bad when you can't fix it is anti-materialist!?

[-] drhead@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

That analogy doesn't work because you can solve climate change by drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. You can't "solve" the existence of deep learning tech except by somehow deleting every trace of its existence and somehow preventing people from creating it again.

In abstract using math problems to do creative work it tacky, banal, and evidence of a lack of imagination and seriousness. But that's not a problem. There have been crass philistines that shouldn't be invited to parties since the dawn of time. Humanity will survive.

In this specific case math problems are being used to immiserate working class artists and reduce everyone's quality of life by replacing creative work with shitty madlibs copypasta. The solution, surprise surprise, is to abolish the economic form that incentivizes the private accumulation of capital! Ie, abolish capitalism.

Because this is literally just another example of capital seizing the commons in order to profit from it.

Oooh oh shit he's got a materialist analysis of the problem noooo mah reductive retreat in to scientism to avoid discussing icky feels! What will I do now?!

pointing out bad things is anti-Marxist

I would argue that pointing out bad things is an essential first step in Marxism.

You are basically just being a Bernstein complaining about monopolies and trying to pass anti-trust legislation to protect small businesses.

As Lenin pointed out, monopolization is inevitable under capitalism and its logical end point. It’s also necessary, as only monopolized industry can be easily seized. Capitalism creates the conditions of its own defeat and builds the base of the next system to come that will replace it.

Just like this, automation is inevitable under capitalism and its logical end point. It’s also necessary, as only a post-scarcity and automated based can enable socialism. Capitalists build the base and develop productive forces, and then once it becomes mired in its own crisis it can then be seized for the replacement.

This is the Marxist conception of capitalist development into socialism. You are simply a reactionary or an idealist if all you can do is whine about the inevitable direction of capitalism and attempt to hold it in stasis instead of using the contradictions of capitalism against it.

Trust busting is Liberal policy and anti-Marxist as it preserves capitalism for longer. Policies meant to hinder or prevent automation, or regress to an earlier period of technology, are Liberal policies and anti-Marxist as it preserves capitalism for longer and prevents the necessary development

Actually, Marxists should let capitalists do all the bad things and never oppose them.
