New Technology Must be Under Social Control to Benefit Everyone

The Socialist Imperative: Managing AI’s Impact on Labor and the Economy

The rapid ascent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) poses the most significant challenge to the structure of global labor markets since the Industrial Revolution. While AI promises unprecedented gains in productivity and economic efficiency, its current trajectory—driven by purely capitalist incentives—risks creating a society defined by extreme wealth concentration and mass technological unemployment. Given this existential threat to societal stability and equitable prosperity, it is evident that only a decisive, regulatory, and redistributive socialist approach can effectively manage the transition, ensuring that the benefits of automation are universally shared and that the fundamental human right to work is preserved.

Immigration Policy Must become Logical

When Policy Meets People: The Case for a Humane and Sensible Immigration System

The recent arrest of Bruna Caroline Ferreira, a Brazilian native detained by ICE near Boston on November 12th, serves as a stark illustration of the human cost and systemic flaws of current U.S. immigration policy. Ferreira, a long-term resident who arrived in the U.S. as a child, was reportedly a former recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and was in the process of applying for a green card when she was apprehended. While federal authorities emphasize her overstayed visa from 1999 and an old charge disputed by her attorney, the essential tragedy of her case remains: a person deeply rooted in American life, with family ties to a high-ranking White House official, has been abruptly detained, separating her from her community and her American-citizen son. Her story crystallizes the urgent need for a pragmatic, two-pronged immigration policy: granting amnesty to the millions of undocumented immigrants already integrated into the nation’s fabric, while simultaneously establishing more accountable control over future arrivals.
