I am personally for radical direct democracy, nothing less, nothing more, because I view the political as trumping the economic, feel free to purge me once the revolution is there but I am interested if there are other “alternative” takes

my opinion is that communism will happen regardless of the way history turns out. it will either be billionaires getting a bunch of AI cops, engineers, and armies and culling the rest of us, thus giving them communism, or us doing that and not getting murdered
assuming, of course, that technology continues to advance
Any realistic useful AI still requires human support structures, and while billionaires are absolute ghouls they still have personal senses of morality and have to justify their actions to themselves somehow. Frankly, I doubt most of them would be down for open direct genocide, and I think that if they tried that plan the state apparatus would probably step in to preserve it's own power.
im aware
and nah i think youd be surprised at how psycho billionaires are, obviously the politicians and key people would be excluded from the purge
I just disagree with that, but you can believe what you want.
