Wandering Meteor

Chapter 213 - 212: The Shadow of Communism



The robot representative said, "Please rest assured, we understand that we are life created by civilized society and we understand the current situation. Wandering in the vast Universe, even we Mechanical Life cannot survive alone and still need the united strength of a collective to survive in the Universe. Therefore, we will not intentionally damage this society and collective. Our starting point is also for the betterment of this collective."

"Stop with the empty talk, do you have any evidence to prove the feasibility of Communism?" the Capitalist Faction asked.

The robot representative said, "Of course, ever since we participated in the Wandering Star System situation conference, we have been researching relevant materials at all times, trying to find a system that suits both us robots and the current production relations. In fact, we also considered capitalism, but through data analysis, we have found that capitalism is outdated and has become a system that restricts the development of civilized society. It cannot accommodate new production relations, nor can it completely liberate productive forces. Therefore, we decided to implement Communism after analyzing and comparing."

"Hmph!" the Capitalist Faction scoffed with disdain.

Knowing that the other party wanted to see concrete data, the robot representative said, "Through statistics and calculations, we have found that today’s productive forces are very developed, and the amount of materials needed for the global citizens’ living and working within a week can now be produced in just two days. However, under the capitalist system, capitalists will definitely want to exploit workers to the greatest extent, causing the workforce to endlessly create value for them. Even when it is unnecessary, capitalists would demand workers to work five days a week, or even work overtime on weekends, and some even proposed the 996 working model, claiming that the young should strive, but no matter how nice the rhetoric is, it cannot change the nature of exploitation."

"Therefore, we believe that under the capitalist ’remuneration according to work’ distribution model, capitalists will exploit and squeeze workers, greatly diminishing the value of their labor. They will also control the market by controlling the outflow of goods and raising prices, causing workers to spend most of their time creating, and then sending the money earned back into the hands of the capitalists through purchasing goods. This model might have been useful for the old society where the economy was underdeveloped, and productive forces were not advanced, but for the current society with extremely developed productive forces, unprecedented wealth, and highly intelligent people, it is an obstacle and will hinder the progress of civilized society."
