    True automation will require a complete redesign of factories and machines on a scale unfathomable under capitalism.

    isnt this going on in china rn with all of those “dark” factories?

      China has certainly come the closest. That said, maintenance, start-up and shut down are still human operations on most of those lines. However, for many of them they are at the point where they only need sensors and not visual confirmation, which is leagues ahead of where most American factories are.
