Tugan-Baranovsky said the same thing: "Even if all workers were replaced by machinery except for one worker, this single worker would be able to put into motion the vast mass of machinery, and with its help create new machines?and means of consumption?The working class could disappear; this would not disturb in the least the self-expansion of capitalism." ^^^^^ CB: Would the one worker buy everything produced ? How would the capitalists' realize profits ? Even Walter Reuther pointed out that if everything was done by robots , robots couldn't buy what they produced. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
