Socialists want to seize the means of production in order to democratise it and move towards communism, which is exactly a post-scarcity post-state destruction of the [capitalist] economy. It is entirely compatible with giving everyone AI and a replicator - the free association of producers and all that. Marx would disagree that you can skip the state part on your way to communism, sure, and I think he’s probably right, but maybe not.
> in order to democratise it
Don't believe that even for a second.
> move towards communism
Has never happened, and I don't believe it ever will.
We have better chances of collapsing capitalism from within.
