> I think that's a little hyperbolic. In feudalism the balance of power is enforced by violence

Tell that to the hordes of unemployed people. Amazon is doing it darndest to employ as few people as possible in their warehouses and now are testing drone delivery.



How is minimizing labor costs an act of violence?

The point was that Jeff Bezos did not violently force anybody to work for him. Nor did he force anybody to buy from him.

Your complaint is that Amazon is profitable because nobody works for them, and that's just feudalistic. That's an absurd argument.


If automation is so evil we should ban the loom.
