Agreed. I would say yeah we likely are at one of those historical inflection points. But I think what we do in the interstitial period matters a lot. It’s now apparent that these systems that we were told were immovable can be dismantled rather quickly.
The hinge point we sit on is whether or not we allow the existing ruling class to consolidate power and create the new world or if working class people take back the power that belongs to them. I think the doomer attitude favors the prior.
Every generation has had its own set of crises that could “never be overcome”. Being a doomer is letting them win. A better future only happens if we make it happen.
I would counter that by saying Twitter encouraged people to learn brevity and clarity when communicating their thoughts. LLMs on the other hand encourage a bloated verbosity that no one wants to read. It’s like Corporate Memphis but with words.
The withering of the state as a concept is a foundational part of ML theory and it does seem as though you’re being intentionally obtuse. I don’t think you would run into a ton of people who believe that OPs meme is an implausible situation as this is the exact reason continuous revolution exists as a concept. The transitional state has to be scrutinized so as not to become a tool of bourgeois capitalism once more.
So yeah to echo what the others said to you: you should read more theory. Your understanding of these concepts seems to be more memetic than anything.

Screeching at people who didn’t vote for the incumbent party running a k-shaped economy and funding a genocide isn’t going to get you anywhere. You can’t run on “oh this guy is so bad” if you spent 4 whole years doing nothing about the guy who is so bad and expect to win, especially if you start racing him to the bottom on immigration and foreign policy.
This and other events are the source of the tech joke that AI stands for “Actually Indians”
