Is it really?

There is nothing wrong with fighting for workers rights while automation is not here yet.

The problem is that automation has to be taxed accordingly to allow us to live with dignity when there is no job to occupy (i.e UBI), and guess who's against taxation? "The left" would be the wrong answer.

I don't see any paradox. 1.Tax the rich now. 2. Improve worker rights which will push us faster towards automation. 3. Prepare legislation to tax automation and implement UBI.

What happens if we don't do that?

1. The rich will continue to take advantage of people's labor while paying them peanuts. 2. The middle class disappears, we end up with a system of two classes, the slaves and the lords. 3. Automation will come regardless and we won't be ready for it regulation wise, and people will die from hunger.

Yeah, label anyone you agree with as a communist. That's nothing more than a scare tactic.

Is there anything specific you want me to get from this article?

It's a hilarious argument that people advocating for workers rights and want wages to go UP are communists that want the wages to go DOWN...

well, I think we'll exit this conversation - too many different reference points to explain. goodbye
