    Maybe I was overly optimistic saying they could do it now, but it clearly is the only country that could do it in a foreseeable future.

        Well, the thing is that that is right-wing automation, if you automate jobs while in a capitalist dictatorship you will produce less jobs, force more people into poverty unless they meet the requisites to be a cognitariat and income inequality increases. Automation needs to be done while promoting other measures like poverty eradication, the destruction of a class society, universal basic income, etc; but if you apply automation or UBI without socialist policies you’ll end up creating hyper corporativism rather than any leftist utopia.
