Jack if you know what I write about, it is about Energyism rather than communism.
We might say Energyism eliminates capital, which could sound hostile to the ideas of Marx, given his main book was named "Capital", but I would say it complements it by integrating physical disciplinary Engineering knowledge with the thinking of Marx, and actually all other historical civilisational economists. Giving them all the benefit of the doubt, they all thought they knew best how to organise humanity, but actually none of them knew, as we can see, our net activity by capitalism is systematic destruction of the planet and all of life. Further, what we think is technical progress is not progress at all, we see technology and human benefit from it, at least in the West, now going backwards, on a trajectory downwards, we are losing all the technical icons and now every day human benefits from aerospace etc. All the while, everything gained by it, by the vocal winners, the "capitalists" in the richer parts of the planet, was lost by the poorer parts of the world where it all came from, at actually huge misery and cost to the lives of those humans.
Mass immigration and a burning planet is the fallout from it, and can only get exponentially worse as long as the problem is unfixed.
But I think we see the same possibility in Ai, this could be the force needed, the Grand controller, greater than any human, we might all trust.
Personally I think it is our only hope. We should fire all presidents already and put it in charge with no further delay. What it doesn't know already it can learn.
