Already happens: Capitalism destroys human labor force and goes to the
next phase
Connecting the dots one can discover the most nightmarish scenarios.
Destructive capitalism's next phase is the total substitution of the human
labor force with robotic machines, or in other words, the
hyper-automatization. There is a process taking place right now, and no one
(or nearly no one) knows what would happen after its completion.
The true picture behind unemployment
From a latest article in PressTV:
“Did you know that there are nearly 102 million working age Americans
that do not have a job right now? And 20 percent of all families in the
United States do not have a single member that is employed. So how in the
world can the government claim that the unemployment rate has “dropped” to
'6.3 percent'?”
“Well, it all comes down to how you define who is 'unemployed'. For
example, last month the government moved another 988,000 Americans into the
'not in the labor force' category.”
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/05/04/361323/27-million-americans-are-unemployed/
102(!) million working age Americans that do not have a job right now?
20%(!) of all families in the US do not have a single member that is
employed? Do you find these numbers exaggerated? Maybe not, if you read the
following story by the "eye-witness" Yanis Varoufakis.
What is going on in front of our eyes?
Yanis Varoufakis in his article "What if the capital of future doesn't
need us?", describes what he saw in Austin-Texas and what that means:
“While I was watching from my window in Austin-Texas, I saw a big cloud
of dust deep in horizon. Two days ago, I was walking in that area and I was
surprised by the view of the big factory where bulldozers and machines were
continuously working, producing the dust. From the front side of the
building under construction it was obvious that (fortunately) they were not
building a new trade center or apartment blocks. No, it was a big industrial
center.”
“Although I didn't notice it the first time, after a few seconds I
realised that something was missing from this factory: people! Specifically,
I counted three. All of them were wearing helmets and protection suits and
were located in a small office in a space outside with a few computers,
while they were covered by a tent like those used by the army. Ten
bulldozers, three cranes and more or less ten moving tools, at least from
what I could see, were moving without drivers, operators, workers generally.”
“When I returned to my office, I went straight to find a colleague who
knows well what's going on. He informed me that the workplace I saw, was the
new factory of Apple to produce MacBook Pro. It was true that, it was
constructed through almost complete automatization. The materials had been
selected through a way with which, the automatic machines - therefore robots
connected to eachother through a local wireless network (intranet) - to be
able to construct without human interference - even the hydraulic
structure of the building will be constructed by plumpers-robots. A factory
that under normal conditions should employ thousands of workers is
functioning with the presence of less than one hundred souls.”
“I asked him about the move of Apple to produce computers in America, by
bringing back in the US the production from China for the first time after
decades. 'How's that?' And the answer was the expected one, although quite
impressive: 'Wages are of no importance. The export of productive processes
from America to China (off-shoring) was only an intermediate stage. The
production has returned to America, but not the jobs. The new factory of
Apple, not only is constructed without American workers' sweat, but will
also produce MacBook Pro through complete automatization, without hiring
Texans. Welcome to the New, Brave World', ended with a smile, referring
obviously to the Brave New World of Aldous Huxley.”
“When bulldozers and plumpers-robots that at this moment build the new
factory of Apple, will start to learn from eachother and cooperate inside a
robotic network, even the few jobs concerning the operation of these robots
will vanish. In case that these armies of interconnected machine slaves
belonged to everyone, thus if everyone had the right to benefit from the
goods that they produce, then no problem. What should be done, however, in
case that these machine slaves, the capital of future, belong (like the most
of today's capital) to the very few, while at the same time most of the
people do not have access in the goods they produce and an opportunity to
work for a (human) wage?”

Capital "hyperaccumulation" : Useful for the next stage
Economic crises are used to destroy big competitors and keep the value
of money high, through capital "hyperaccumulation". Capital
"hyperaccumulation", however, is also used to fund the next stage of the
destructive capitalism which is hyper-automatization.
How all these connected to the Greek experiment?
How long a society could tolerate an unemployment rate of 30% - 50%
without uprising that could bring an "instability" to the system? When
unemployment rate for the young people has reached 60%? When pensions and
wages have been cut? How much the unemployment benefit should be cut in
order to allow people to survive and consume without uprising? How many
could be left totally helpless without any kind of social benefit? How much
the mainstream media propaganda affects people in order to stay scared
inside their homes without uprising?
The new nightmarish facts in Greek experiment could be proved quite
useful for the big companies that hyper-automatize production and seek to
remove the human labor costs.
Someone has to consume
The big question is: If all the production will be automatized (even the
services sector), who will consume the products? Are we going to a model
that most of the people will be receiving unemployment benefits just to
survive and consume?
In overpopulated developing countries there are huge potential consumer
tanks. Their consuming power will rise and the complete automatization of
the production there will take decades. However, the suitable conditions
should be created first, in the aged and saturated West, in order a limit in
wages to be established and the expansion of the Western social state model
to be prevented because all these things mean an additional cost for the
global economic oligarchy:

The new model could lead to a future Dystopia beyond any fantasy:
“In the middle of the pyramid, a restructured class will serve and
secure the domination of the top. Corporate executives, big journalists,
scientific elites, suppression forces. It is characteristic that academic
research is directed on the basis of the profits of big corporations.
Funding is directed increasingly to practical applications in areas that can
bring huge profits, like for example, the higher automatization of
production and therefore, the profit increase through the restriction of
jobs.”
“The base of the pyramid will be consisted by the majority of workers
in global level, with restricted wages, zero labor rights, and nearly zero
opportunities for activities other than consumption.”
“However, the most horrific thing of all will be the expansion of the
lower social level, consisted by millions of people all over the planet,
which will be left without any kind of help, dying in extreme poverty,
since the global economic elite will secure its domination through the
oversupply of labor force and consumers.
Unfortunately, already, the human life increasingly lose value...”

Are they all, so well designed?
Probably not. One can imagine, more or less, what is being discussed in
closed rooms of economic forums and Bilderberg conferences behind cameras,
but that does not mean that the designers of the new world order can build
everything in detail.
In many cases in the past, predictions and designs of various think
tanks have failed because there is no perfect theory that can predict
everything with accuracy and include all the unexpected facts.
It is obvious that the subsection of the global economic oligarchy in
Greece, fears a possible "accident" in euro elections since things are not
going well for the traditional parties in power which support the local
capital, and this is depicted in the way that the mainstream media
propaganda culminates as we get closer to the euro elections day.
This means that, the struggle of people against the future Dystopia in
not futile at all ...
