    The invention of the cotton gin helped keep slavery economically viable in the U.S. for nearly a century after people thought it would eventually phase itself out.

    Was the cotton gin bad? Was it good? That’s the wrong question - slavery needed to end.

    As soon as the cotton gin was invented, the North should have militarily invaded the South and freed every slave by force.

    Today, we are in a similar fight against AI and Capitalism. AI is a tool of Capital consolidation that accelerates the need for a Socialist revolution based on Marxist principles.
