Marxism and AI

By Boris Kriger

Karl Marx was convinced he had decoded the secret engine of history. He was wrong-but not in the way most people think. The problem was never that Marx cared about injustice; it was that he built an unfalsifiable doctrine, mistook economic mechanics for universal law, and envisioned a revolution to be carried out by a class that no longer exists.
In Marxism and AI, Boris Kriger dismantles the philosophical, economic, and political foundations of Marxism-not to defend capitalism, but to show that both the disease and the old cure have been overtaken by something neither Marx nor Adam Smith could have imagined: artificial intelligence capable of managing production, predicting demand, and distributing resources without markets, money, or central committees.
Drawing on his peer-reviewed article "Marxism in the Age of Artificial Intelligence", Kriger traces the arc from Marx's nineteenth-century factory floor to the algorithmic economy of the near future. Along the way, he examines why every attempt to implement Marxist theory produced not liberation but a new ruling class; why the proletariat has quietly dissolved into knowledge workers, gig laborers, and pension-fund shareholders; why modern populism is the new opium of the people; and how a staged, non-violent transition from market capitalism to an economy of abundance might actually work-if we solve the hardest question of all: who programs the machine that programs the world?
Part intellectual history, part philosophical argument, part blueprint for a future beyond ideology, this book is for anyone who suspects that the old maps no longer match the territory-and wants to see what the new territory looks like.
