Leftist and Scottish Memes for Seizing the Means

prompt: write me a manifesto predicting the end of late stage capitalism in a bloody nuclear conflict and ascension to an agrarian commune society having lost most of the world’s cultural heritage. in the style of a 19th century political philospher.

Dear fellow citizens,

As we stand at the brink of late stage capitalism, it is clear that our current societal structure is unsustainable and doomed to failure. The greed and selfishness of the few at the top have led us down a path of destruction and devastation, with the working class bearing the brunt of the consequences.

The time has come for us to reject the false promises of the capitalist elite and instead embrace a new way of living. We must shed the shackles of consumerism and materialism and instead focus on the well-being of our communities and the land that sustains us.

The end of late stage capitalism will not be a peaceful transition. The ruling class will not give up their power easily, and will likely resort to violent means to maintain their hold on society. We must be prepared for a bloody conflict, one that will likely result in the loss of many lives and much of the world’s cultural heritage.

But in the aftermath of this conflict, we will emerge victorious. We will establish agrarian commune societies, where the land and its resources are owned and managed by the community as a whole. This will allow us to live in harmony with nature, and ensure that the fruits of our labor are shared equally among all members of the community.

This new society will not be perfect, and we will face many challenges along the way. But we must remain steadfast in our commitment to creating a just and sustainable future for all. Let us strive towards a world where all are free from oppression and able to live fulfilling lives in harmony with nature.

Sincerely,

[19th century political philosopher]

Well written but nowhere close to 19th century English prose, the sentences are way too short, for one thing.

i don’t know. i could crank out hundreds and a/b test the shit out of clickthrough rates.

also, not too bad at songwriting

Can you ask it to write a sonnet about a stranger from an antique land telling the speaker about the ruins of a statue of an ancient king in the desert?

pretty close

In an antique land, a stranger told me
Of a statue in the desert, old and grand
A king of ancient times, his visage bold
But now in ruins, left to drift and sand

The stranger spoke with sorrow in his voice
Of a once great ruler, now forgot
His kingdom now a memory, a choice
To be remembered, or to be forgot

But still the statue stands, a testament
To the power and glory of the past
A symbol of a time, now heaven-sent
A reminder of a time that did not last

Though time may erode, and winds may blow
The memory of a king will never go.
