>>40 It didn't come from Koba but from Lenin who was paraphrasing Paul. Lenin seems to have misread the quote entirely. Paul was talking about ethical action as in good deeds will bear fruit. Lenin seem to see it as a literal principal that those who fail at work shouldn't eat. Combining this with the classical economists labor theory of value, and the result is a cult of working. You see this with Marxists idolizing factory work despite most of them not working a day in their lives. Marxism is a failed pseudo-theology. The result is the same, work to death under capitalism to buy that mcmansion and SUV, work to death under Marxist socialism to build Marxist socialism.
is Sweden such? do you equalize it with Birma?
Why do 'authoritarian' states invest so much in independent judiciaries and propping up civil institutions? At the same time, democratic states engage in widespread torture, rendition, and extrajudicial killing, but nobody calls them 'authoritarian.' Sweden, Burma, US etc. are all totalitarian bureaucratic states where humans are reduced to instruments and statistics to be fed into national economies. Sure, we might prefer to live in one more than the other, but they aren't that different.
>>41 Enlightenment was the human instrumentality project. Humans will be replaced by machines because of increasing speed demands we move faster but now we are reaching physical human limits. Automation being adopted in those area where humans are seen as too slow to keep up. Accelerationism is redundant the world is already running at breakneck speed and we are too slow to keep up.
>>43 who are you even talking to, no one made that claim. Whether or not Gorbachev lived in a mansion has no baring on the degree to which marxism reduces people to their labor power. >>41 No, because that was still the "human" instrumentality project. Landian accelerationism does away with humans entirely. To summarize extremely fast skipping over a lot, techno-capitalism is ultimately held back due to it's reliance on human desire, therefore it's end goal can only be to produce desire without humans aka AI. Once capital can function without humans, by producing it's own desire, it will have no need for us any longer and "nothing human makes it out of the near future". If you think that sounds unpleasant, you're a "transcendental miserabilist".
