“The world will become richer, so much richer. But how will we distribute the riches?
I want you to imagine two camps, communist China and capitalist America. I want you to imagine what would happen in capitalist America if we have 30% unemployment?
There will be social unrest in the streets.
And I want you to imagine if China lives true to caring for its nations and replaced every worker with a robot, what would it give its citizens?
UBI?
Correct.
That is the ideological problem. Because in China's world today, the prosperity of every citizen is higher than the prosperity of the capitalist. In America today, the prosperity of the capitalist is higher than the prosperity of every citizen.”
