Alright, I read the whole thing and mostly I’m just psyched at the prospect of condescending white-collar douches losing their jobs after years of these c*nts pulling the “fuck you, I got mine” card on all the working poor.

Anyway, I’m choosing to take these ideas optimistically. I think white-collar assholes having their jobs automated, and the subsequent move to blue-collar work, will potentially force them into greater solidarity with the working poor, and likewise force them to be more sympathetic to socialist ideas.

The article itself acknowledges that a lot of manual labor and other blue-collar work will still need doing by people for the foreseeable future, so there’s still leverage that working people can exert. I figure if we still have leverage, and we have a large influx of recently proletarianized people – maybe with a dash of convert’s zeal here and there – which specifically comes from a decline in the “middle class” and the people who have historically churned out the ideological justifications for capitalism and class hierarchy, we might have a recipe for some actual movement against capitalism itself, rather than just a band-aid here or there.
