Re:What the Fourth Industrial Revolution Looks Like by dragonwriter on Tuesday April 14, 2015 @10:35AM (#9374543)
From another point of view, all three are forms of socialism; BI, particularly, is very easy to see as a form of the public as a whole owning the means of production in society and receiving rents from them, and the naturally-arising communes are the doubleton of bottom-up approaches to socialism.

For that matter, the whole modern mixed economy which has pretty much entirely replaced the 19th century system that socialist critics named "capitalism" is nothing but the result of progressive introduction of socialist elements into the preexisting capitalist system. A big socialist evolution -- punctuated, to be sure, and not without upheaval at some points -- in most developed countries rather than a socialist revolution. I should not be surprised to see it continue.
