Attack on the Central Office of the CPB Condemned

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) condemns the dastardly bomb attack on the Central office of the Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) in Dhaka carried out by the Hefajote Islam (a grand alliance of religious extremists) and Jamat-e-Islami’s armed militants. At the time of the attack, the general secretary of the Party, along with other leaders, was in office and fortunately all of them were unhurt.

Since the war crimes tribunal started pronouncing verdicts against the fundamentalist forces who had played a treacherous role during the Bangladesh's war of liberation, these forces had taken to violence and anarchy. Attack on the CPB was a part of that conspiracy.

A heartening feature is the resistance offered by the people of Bangladesh, particularly its youth, against these attacks by the fundamentalist forces. The CPI (M) expresses its solidarity with the CPB and all the other forces in the country who are valiantly resisting the fundamentalist forces and their attack on the secular, democratic polity of Bangladesh. The government of Bangladesh should act firm against the fundamentalist forces responsible for these kind of attacks and the perpetrators of crimes should be immediately made to stand trial.

The coupled states of automated labour and Post Scarcity would create an environment incapable of supporting Capitalism due to the mass devaluing of goods and services; economically left policies would the the only ones that could possibly cope with and effectively manage the circumstance.
In its infancy, the propagation of Post Scarcity promise almost untold of riches for the ambitious in areas such as asteroid mining utilizing completely automated labour. This would undoubtedly attract more Capitalists to invest, further ratifying the devaluation of the goods produced. However, there is the chance that a price-fixing monopolizing syndicate be formed, not dissimilar to De Beers and the diamond market.
The downside is temporary mass unemployment, though this would encourage more citizens to pursue intellectual careers. A historic example includes the Industrial Revolution
The potential long-term downside is the stagnation of the country itself through laziness, complacency and loss of a "meaningful" life. This can be solved by altering the psyche of the nation through sociological and ideological alteration. Basically, absolutely mass propaganda encouraging the arts and intellectualities.

Post Scarcity and the Autonomous Society are large gambles and there stands a lot to be lost if done wrong, but the potential gains are unfathomable.

The Scientific Utopia of Arbat, the Human Factor will never be replaced. The worker will always have a task. The usage of the machines will only replace the worker in jobs such as Factory worker, Farmer or other heavy duty jobs. Bankers and stock investors won't exist in Communism. People will be practicing jobs such as Teacher, Professor, Physician. Plus, the usage of the machines has another task for a Communist Society; to vanish every kind of labour so that the people will start to befree themselves from work. But that will happen after 1000 years of Communism... So relax man!

There is hardly any job that cannot be made a non-sentient device. I disagree, there are no 'dignified' and 'undignified' jobs, only labour needing to be performed. If problems exist and there are better alternatives to those being used then there's no point getting sentimental about it in my opinion. Earthly problems exist to be solved in the most efficient fashion possible.
However, do not go so far as to say a person should not be allowed to work if they so wish. If that is their desire, then it is noble and should be respected. In a post-scarcity society, human labour can align with that individual's recreation if their view of 'the good life' is a working one.
