Artificial Intelligence could guarantee basic needs for everyone. Fascism is AI in the wrong hands – capitalist corporations. Successfully resistance will require working class unity.
As technology replaces people “these bastards are stealing money from the poor
for the 1%”. Survival, and justice, depend on workers fighting fascism as a class.
Trump’s vendetta against Chicago began in his first term, when its people repeatedly expressed their hatred for his policies with mass protests, actually forcing Trump to cancel his appearance at the UIC Forum.
