And that therefore we still have to, in order to break down capitalism, prevent exploitation of the masses, on every possible front.
This includes the theft of work and wage from independent small time artists, to create AI slop

It’s almost like progress in one country can make progress happen in others, but no, that would be impossible!
Especially not when that country had an empire at the time that could force vassals to follow the same rules!
Cool, what’s that got to do with anything? You’ve heard of “grandfathering” right? Taking existing rules and going “y’know what, they work, will just copypaste as they are”
I love that you keep trying to paint artists as Slop creators. You mean the thing that takes hours of dedicated practice, learning and trial and error? That thing?
Slop creators, those who use genAI, are the ones who try to displace them.
And again, your points all fall apart when you mention one very very very specific thing. We don’t live under socialism, so to work towards it, shouldn’t a goal be to ensure the Safe and Healthy lives of those who live, right now, in the real world, so they can then work towards improving it and hopefully making socialism real.
And your points would fall apart if you actually decided to read what I wrote instead of cherry picking sections out of context. For instance:
The rules in question: “They were mostly violently suppressed by the government, any gains that they might have had were really temporary and local (like some temporary wage increase)”. A temporary local response to some movement where individual capitalists decide to temporarily bump up the wages to appease luddites and so they can continue exploiting workers and accumulating capital unimpeded isn’t some universal rule that was applied everywhere.
Also this entire exchange literally came about because of some off-hand remark about luddites that wasn’t even important to the argument.
Whatever, I’m disengaging.
Sorry for thinking that other humans deserve to live a happy life without fear of their livelihood being destroyed, that’s very unlefty of me.
I didn’t know that using robots to replace people by doing a bad but cheap job was a core tenet of socialism.
I’ll have to read up on the part of the socialist theory that states “For the Robots and the Capitalist Oligarchs that own them, by the Robots and the Capitalist Oligarchy that owns them”
