Capitalism and automation: when will the future arrive?

Details Hector Fernandez, Southampton Marxists logo 17 Jan 2017

We are now in an era that many imagined would be a period of prosperity for all. And yet, far from living in the technological utopia once imagined, we are increasingly living in a dystopian nightmare of eye-watering inequality and poverty amidst plenty. Hugo Robles looks at the contradictions of automation and machinery under capitalism.

Capitalism’s $1.3 trillion "unicorn" problem

Details Antonio Balmer, Socialist Appeal USA logo 17 Nov 2016

Today’s global economy is full of dangers, one of the most precarious being the Silicon Valley tech sector; in particular, the impending stampede of "unicorns". This term has come to describe the primary threat facing the tech sector, with the possibility of a cataclysmic repetition of the 1999 dot-com bubble.

Apple and the tech sector crisis

Details Steve Jones logo 02 Nov 2016

Only a few short years ago it seemed that the tech market could do no wrong. Whatever problems the rest of world capitalism faced, the tech industries looked to be moving from success to success, with ever-larger profits each year. But, as Steve Jones (not Jobs) reports, the major technology firms - such as Apple - are now facing an increasingly uncertain future.

After COP21, an inconvenient truth: the problem is capitalism

Details Adam Booth logo 14 Dec 2015

There were scenes of jubilation in Paris last Saturday evening, as delegates celebrated the results of negotiations at the United Nations climate change conference. But before the ink had even dried on the paper, doubts were already being raised – doubts that, in the final analysis, reflect the limitations and contradictions of the capitalist system.

COP21 Paris climate change conference: Capitalist governments fiddle whilst the world burns

Details Adam Booth logo 23 Nov 2015

In one week's time, world leaders will meet in Paris for the COP21 United Nations climate change conference. But as bourgeois politicians impotently discuss and negotiate, the atmosphere continues to heat up as capitalism kills the planet. As Adam Booth outlines, the future facing humanity is clear: socialism or barbarism.
