When I was growing up, I recall reading these magazines, and it made me really excited about technological progress and the future. I found these sorts of ambitious ideas and grand scale engineering to be really inspirational.
This is the kind of vision that’s sorely lacking under western capitalism where the best and brightest minds end up wasting their talents working on utterly useless, and often harmful, garbage like Facebook or Twitter.
Instead of people figuring out how to advance humanity and solve big problems in the world, they’re working on figuring out how to shove as many ads as possible in people’s faces.
There’s a stark contrast between the west and China in this regard. China has a vision for the future and it implements large scale engineering projects today. It’s pretty much the only place where real meaningful technological advancement is happening at scale today. This is the power of central planning and communism!
Kids have always wanted to be famous actors, rockstars, authors, and celebrities.
Nowadays that’s just in the online sphere.
Nothing has changed
That’s true. However, capitalism pollutes everything, including jobs in the entertainment industry. Have you ever thought it odd that society allows kids to play in movies or other forms of entertainment? Putting children to work in this way constitutes child labor. In my opinion, this Hollywood capitalist fantasy is now exploiting children for their own benefit. Those are the signs of capitalist decadence.
I mean, how would you then portray children in movies? In my eyes child actors would be understandable, however not something that should accepted in the current state of things.
Communism will give children better working conditions, as well as a great reduction in work hours. Child acting and other stuff like that should strictly be a hobby. I think we agree on this since you said it should not be accepted presently. By hobby I’m just talking about the hours they put in not money. They should get paid obviously.
