The Factory without Workers
"Zynga seems on the verge of becoming a company without employees --- as
everything that can be outsourced is outsourced "
Marx's forsight of a factory without workers lurks at the horizon, but
other than what Marx thought about the humans being "observers and
watchmen only", the humans are now still working and being told that
they are just consuming and not working. Furthermore they are "domestic
workers who work on their own machines." (Marx, Capital Vol.1, Part 1,
p. 518) That saves a lot of money for capital of course.
