GLOBAL STRATEGIC HYPOTHESES.

Dear Reader,

Marx wrote, in the section, in his third volume of Capital, on “The Law of the Tendency of the Rate of Profit to Fall”*, the following:

“…it is…a requirement of the capitalist mode of production that the number of wage-workers should increase absolutely in spite of its relative decrease [M.D: i.e., relative to both the physical mass, and though not in the same proportion, to the ‘‘‘value-mass’’’ of (f +c), the non-human means of production: ((f +c)/v)]. A development of the productive forces which would diminish the absolute number of laborers, i.e., enable the entire nation to accomplish its total production in a shorter time span [M.D: i.e., with substantially less total labor-time than before], would cause a revolution, because it would put the bulk of the population out of the running.”

The “capital-relation” [Marx] – the ‘industrial-capital/wage-labor social relation of production’, per Marx – could not survive as the predominant ‘social relation of human-societal self-re-production’, if its development of productivity – of the “productive forces” [Marx] – made a substantial portion of the wage-and-salaried majority class permanently unemployed by capital.

That massive loss of employment, per Marx, would trigger a social revolution – that is, in our view, given the social conditions of today, a ‘socio-ontological revolution’ in the “social relations of production”; a change to a higher, qualitatively different, more-democratic, more-prosperous, less-servile, superseding “social relation of production” to the capital-relation, hopefully via rule-of-law, largely non-violent, electoral means.

This ‘implicit prediction’, by Marx, may be usefully viewed in light of a, “more recent”, and explicit prediction by Elon Musk, of a coming transition, not to a society based, in part, upon a ‘“guaranteed universal minimum income”’, but to a society based, in part, upon a “guaranteed Universal High Income” [UHI], apart from wagéd or salaried employment by capital, within the next 20 years, made possible by the gargantuan productivity, or “productive force” [Marx], and the vast human-labor-replacing-power, of ‘AI Android Robotics’.

The latter is the first species of ‘meta-humanity’, per our predicted ‘Dialectic of the Meta-Human’.
