the highest suicide rate and lowest birth rate in the world due to extreme economic inequality.\u003cbr\u003e It is very strange that, despite the extreme harm caused by neoliberalism, there is no active discussion about a new system that goes beyond capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e However, if you mention communism as a new system, it may be taken as a joke or a political joke rather than something to be taken as subversive.\u003cbr\u003e After all, many people believe that communism was a failed experiment of the 20th century and that it deserves no attention except for the lessons learned from its failure. \u003cbr\u003eWhile some may acknowledge that capitalism has many flaws and that it may one day end, they may not be able to accept that communism will follow capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e But after reading Aaron Bastani's technologically optimistic Communist Manifesto for the 21st Century, you'll change your mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As we all know, the world is now facing unprecedented crises, including economic inequality, technological unemployment, an aging population, resource shortages, and climate change.\u003cbr\u003e But by harnessing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, renewable energy, asteroid mining, gene editing, and artificial meat, humanity can create a world where social justice and infinite abundance go beyond mere survival.\u003cbr\u003e As we stand at the crossroads of dystopia and utopia, we are obsessed with the idea that we are incapable of creating a better world than the one we have today. \u003cbr\u003ePerhaps our greatest crisis is the lack of bold political imagination.\u003cbr\u003e In the last century, political activity that called itself communism was not only aimlessly flawed but also technically impossible.\u003cbr\u003e However, in a future where labor, resources, and energy are becoming scarce due to the dazzling advancements in science and technology, if we regain our bold political imagination, we can create a world where labor and leisure become one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As many experts predict, automation, robotics, and machine learning will cause massive technological unemployment, significantly reducing the number of jobs available to workers.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, this is an opportunity to be liberated from labor.\u003cbr\u003e Renewable energy technology has advanced, and its costs have fallen sharply every year.\u003cbr\u003e If things continue this way, renewable energy could meet global energy demand, potentially leading to a complete phasing out of fossil fuels. \u003cbr\u003eWith technological advancements and asteroid mining, resource scarcity will become a thing of the past.\u003cbr\u003e These technologies will impact society as a whole and have the potential to be transformative.\u003cbr\u003e The problem is capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e Capitalism has brought new abundance, but it is not well suited to widely sharing the fruits of technological advancement.\u003cbr\u003e Capitalism, which produces everything solely for profit, seeks to limit resource allocation to ensure profits.\u003cbr\u003e In the future, companies will continue to monopolize technology and seek to collect rental fees.\u003cbr\u003e As a result of artificially creating scarcity, there will not be enough food, medicine, and energy for everyone.\u003cbr\u003e We must go beyond capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e Many people consider this proposal risky.\u003cbr\u003e It would be easier for them to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. \u003cbr\u003eBut to create a better world, a world where everyone can live well on a livable planet, we must go beyond capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e The policies of established left-wing parties and environmental activists, which advocate regulation and restraint, are not the solution.\u003cbr\u003e We need a new politics.\u003cbr\u003e A politics that guides technological change to serve people, not profit; a politics that pursues concrete policies, such as rapid decarbonization, complete automation, and social security healthcare, rather than vague fantasies.\u003cbr\u003e The name of this politics, which aims for utopia while also fundamentally changing our daily lives, is 'fully automated, splendid communism.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A bold and provocative declaration of utopia.\u003cbr\u003e It offers a novel perspective that goes beyond predicting a future where jobs will be lost to machines.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-[Times Literary
