Well, what I seen this image as was the classic divide and conquer strategy of the capitalist classes against the working class and/or arbitrary race category to enable them to control and/or murder at will.

However, this image is actually a complete gas lighting exercise in using toxic characteristics from capitalism to describe communism. I didn't notice the hammer and sickle, which to be fair makes no fucking sense...

The relevance to the above post was really trying to play on

"The Production of too many useful things results in too many useless people"

which I take as a satirical poke at the deficiencies of capitalism, although it's of unknown origin as far as I know..

If automation does reach a point where labour isn't needed, then it may well encourage the likes of Murdoch et al to intensify the encouragement of class war.

Sorry, I clearly don't pay enough attention to the shit I post :(
