The image is a meme featuring scenes from an animated show. It is divided into three panels:  1. Top Left Panel: Two characters are sitting in a red vehicle. The character in the passenger seat is wearing a red cap and sunglasses. The driver is looking out the window, and a third person is visible in the back seat. Text reads, "Is this the liberal death cult?"  2. Top Right Panel: A school bus is shown with a blonde character standing near it. The text says, "We're not a death cult. We just want to defeat fascism by maintaining the system that inevitably leads to it."  3. Bottom Panel: The same two characters from the first panel are in the vehicle. The character in the passenger seat looks forward, while the driver is looking at him. Text reads, "YEAH, THIS IS IT."

As a soc dem, capitalism is only slightly better but the system needs heavy regulations. But with the burgeoning AI and automation, I am starting to lean more towards socialism. I mean, after AI "companies" stole our data to train their AI with, isn't it only right that WE should actually take rightful ownership of that? At some point, AI and automation will become advanced enough that most jobs will be gone and humans would not be needed anymore. When that time comes, the ordinary folks should take their rightful stake in that automation revolution by taxing robots or take communal ownership of AI to fund universal basic income and services. That is the best socialism we can get. Not only we can finally rid of social ails that plague humanity due to unbridled capitalism, but also we are taking away full power from oligarchs who stole our own data to begin with. They would not be there if it weren't for us to begin with.
