Innovation like this is created with the intention to make working lives better. As industries have changed and machines, then computers, have been introduced into all working environments, we have seen no decrease in working hours or any decrease in unemployment and poverty.
The ruling class continue to subjugate workers, keeping them at a level of consumerism or poverty to hinder any belief of ruling for themselves.
This is why we, in the capitalist countries, desperately need a planned economy to give us all a meaningful and respectful life. That's why we in the West need to fight for the dictatorship of the proletariat.

What a surprise. While the trade unions are putting aside all their pretended 'disagreements' with Keir Starmer and lining up for a united campaign to get him elected, the Labour party is busy dropping all its inconvenient promises to workers.
As in 1924, its priority remains proving itself to be 'business-friendly'.
It seems quite likely from all this we can expect two events next year.
1. A Labour victory in the polls (forces across the political spectrum are lining up for this and Starmer is clearly seen as a safe and loyal pair of establishment hands in difficult times by the ruling class).
2. A fresh outbreak of working-class struggle, which the unions will do everything they can to keep a lid on in the name of 'keeping the Tories out'.
Given the conditions workers will find themselves in after another year of rampant inflation, it's hard to believe the trade union bureaucracy will continue to be successful in keeping a lid on workers' anger and fighting spirit.

Today in 1913, the five-month-long Dublin lockout began, involving 20,000 workers. Often wrongly categorized as a strike it was a callous attempt by Ireland's capitalist class to starve workers into submission and prevent them from joining the growing Irish Transport and General Workers Union (ITGWU). Impoverished workers living in some of Europe's worst conditions were locked out of their workplaces while British and Irish strikebreaking workers or "scabs" replaced them.
The story is a pioneering attempt at building working-class unity and one big union representing all workers as a step towards overthrowing capitalism and establishing a workers' republic in Ireland. After betrayal by Britain's trade union leadership, Irish workers would lose this battle. But out of its ashes, a growing trade union movement and the Irish Citizen's Army were born, which would lead the first major challenge to British rule three years later.

⚒ Today marks Miner’s Day in Donbass and the region remembers Yevdokia Korolyova, Maria Grishutina, Maria Tipkina & Agafya Shchepkina who were among more than 200,000 women who worked underground after liberation from the Nazis in 1943, producing the coal necessary for victory.
