Young People Yearning for Socialism and AI

Socialism has failed every time it has been tried because it’s unattainable for a group of people to implement a centralized governing equipment succesful of successfully organizing society. 

Heretofore, most people have resented and rejected the yoke of socialism, sometimes after long struggles, because collectivism is also antithetical to particular person autonomy, free will, human nature, and the pursuit of happiness.

This shouldn’t be the case in the United States. Today, more than 30 years after the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, younger Americans need socialism. 

According to new polling carried out by Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute, which included 1,496 probably voters aged 18 to 39, more than half of younger Americans need a democratic socialist to win the White House in 2028.

Likewise, more than half of those polled have a favorable impression of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, and practically 60 % assist socialist insurance policies like a nationwide rent freeze and government-run grocery shops in every city.

There are many causes why socialism appeals to younger Americans. 

First and foremost, younger people should not being taught about the darkish historical past of socialism. Second, they’re misled into believing that socialism is superior to free-market capitalism. Third, they’re brainwashed into believing that collectivism is more righteous, truthful, and just than personal freedom. Fourth, they really feel that the American dream is lifeless and socialism is the answer to the cost-of-living disaster they face.

Nearly three-in-four younger probably voters assume the fee of housing is at a disaster stage, and only 22 % assume they are going to be better off than their mother and father. 

At this level in time, given the financial headwinds they face, coupled with their ignorance of socialism, it is smart that an alarming portion of younger Americans need socialism.

Even more regarding, many younger Americans also need to give an superior AI system the authority to control the bulk of public coverage choices. More than 40 % of younger probably voters are okay with letting AI, not human beings, decide the legal guidelines, guidelines, and laws that govern society. More than a third assume AI ought to revise the Constitution, be granted the authority to decide particular person rights, and run the world’s largest militaries.

The actuality that nearly half of younger Americans need AI to govern society, mixed with the fact that more than half also need socialism, makes for a harmful proposition.

What if AI might make socialism possible? What if AI and quantum computing might manage huge quantities of data in real time and develop an environment friendly centralized system that might monitor and control the whole lot?  

Theoretically, an AI-based socialist system might do a far better job than human-led bureaucracies when it comes to redistributing wealth, calculating and distributing assets, monitoring the population, and many others.

Modern, AI-infused socialism may very well be billed as incorruptible, all-knowing, and most importantly, efficient.

Unlike the huge centralized bureaucracies that completely failed to micromanage economies, an AI-driven command-and-control economic system might use ruthless effectivity to guarantee equal outcomes.

Of course, an AI-generated socialist utopia, in which Marx’s dream of “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need” is finally realized, might flip into a dystopian nightmare.

Before this occurs, I hope younger people notice that socialism is the issue, not the answer. Even more importantly, I hope they perceive that liberty, free will, and particular person autonomy are blessings that ought to be protected from any encroachment, whether or not from people or machines.
