Veeky Forums, what can do 1st world countries do to ensure their economic leverage?

The US, Japan and Europe today are post industrial countries. You don't see people working in factories there anymore. Everyone is outsourcing jobs, and this is leading to the growth of third world countries, such as China or India.

This is bad, isn't it? It happens mainly because its more profitable to outsoruce jobs. The product comes much cheaper because of weaker labor laws. You can't just weaken labor laws in, say, Japan. That's not good for a first world country. And not only that, there's also the mechanization of the economy - the robots.

In the end, in the first world country - that is the origin of a company that made the country industrialize - now is left with no real production. Everyone is now in offices, sitting in front of computers, not producing ANYTHING really. There is no more real growth. The production is in fact in the power of the corporation, not in the hands of the people of the country. The production is being made by the Vietnamese and the South Africans, rather than the French or Germans. The French and Germans are left without money. Maybe Citroen and Fanta have money, but not the citizens.

This causes unemployment, stagnation, higher taxes, weaker consumer market, deficit, debt, and so on. And one thing will also further increase the other problem.

So what can the first world to about this all? I am thinking that we need a new industrial revolution. Not a digital one, but a revolution that makes people be employed in their own country. A new kind of economic revolution that makes the first world retain their economic leverages over the third. That pehaps combines domestic growth with corporate growth. That does not outsource jobs.

What can the first world do? Nuke the third worlders to death?

Enlighten me, Veeky Forums.

everyone goes on welfare and it becomes a techno-modern communist state.

>he fell for the work meme

literally everyone will be NEET soon with automation

Entertainment, of course! Those third-worlders can't resist!

Perhaps this is a better graph

>You don't see people working in factories there anymore.
Born in ex-yugoslavisn country.
I went working in Germany in some factory.
Just because you class doesnt see & hear working class that doesn't mean there aren't any factory.

If there is going to be revolution, first people like you will be robbed and killed...

KE - Knowledge economy is the logical successor.

So /pol/ threads unrelated to history are totally acceptable now?

Not that I'm complaining-- the conversations will always be more informative here. I just want to make sure for future reference.

fuck off home

>now
Where have you been since this board was created?

This is home

Lately there's been a shift to more purely political/current events types threads instead of the usual hurrr communism has never been tried/imperialism wasn't all that bad /leftypol/ /pol/ bullshit.

[spoiler] The answer is socialism {spoiler], it allows for a combination of human and robot labor.

Japan is the world's third largest automobile manufacturing country,[20] has the largest electronics goods industry, and is often ranked among the world's most innovative countries leading several measures of global patent filings.[21] Manufacturing in Japan today focuses primarily on high-tech and precision goods, such as optical instruments, hybrid vehicles, and robotics. Besides the Kantō region,[23][24][25][26] the Kansai region is one of the leading industrial clusters and manufacturing centers for the Japanese economy.[27]

The U.S. is the world's largest producer of oil[44] and natural gas.[45] It is one of the largest trading nations in the world[46] as well as the world's second largest manufacturer, representing a fifth of the global manufacturing output.[47]
In 2008, its manufacturing output was greater than that of the manufacturing output of China and India combined, despite manufacturing being a very small portion of the entire U.S economy, as compared to most other countries.
If the top 500 U.S.-based manufacturing firms were counted as a separate country, their total revenue would rank as the world’s third-largest economy.
The United States produces approximately 21 percent of the world's manufacturing output, a number which has remained unchanged for the last 40 years. The job loss during this continual volume growth is explained by record-breaking productivity gains. In addition, growth in telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, aircraft, heavy machinery and other industries along with declines in low end, low-skill industries such as clothing, toys, and other simple manufacturing have resulted in U.S. jobs being more highly skilled and better paying.

>In the end, in the first world country - that is the origin of a company that made the country industrialize - now is left with no real production.

The production is being made by the Vietnamese and the South Africans, rather than the French or Germans. The French and Germans are left without money.

Wages, productivity and purchasing power have increased (while the average workweek decreased, no less) and the French and Germans are several orders of magnitude wealthier than the Vietnamese and South Africans. Please explain how they got shafted in this scenario, or how they would be better off working 60 hours a week for less than minimum wage.

In short, nothing. The means of production will continue to be democratized through automation, until the proletariat is capable of satisfying all material needs with no physical cost, and capital will cease to exist. Without control over resources, governments will have no choice but to work toward a cooperative method for sharing information, and we will enter into a state of pure global communism. AI will be found to be vastly superior at allocating and distributing resources fairly, and we will quickly devote our energies into fomenting the Superintelligence that will teach us to transcend humanity itself by understanding that time and space are a closed system of information, and what we have understood as our individual human lives are actually a manifestation of the guiding forces which will lead us to constructing the SI. Our universe is actually a paradoxical consequence of that which created it in the future.

But please, continue to employ the divisive and imperialist framework of "1st world" and "3rd world" countries... I'm sure plenty of technological advancement is still occurring because people think they have to maintain superiority over China.

but this goes against my conservative ideology that not working is for neckbeards

Your idea of revolution is a step back, not a step forward.

First world countries are already doing what needs to be done: allowing immigrants in and outsourcing jobs. Nothing has changed about the employment and wealth structure in a globalist setting. Immigrants become the new lower and lower-middle class workers. People who can't step up, regardless of where they come from, will die off. The wealth structure has simply expanded to include the whole world, rather than a particular country's resident population.

You are not just competing with your neighbors anymore. You are competing with people across the globe. Everyone is your neighbor now.

There are still tons of jobs here in the west, but most of them are upper level now. Since the lower level jobs are being spread across the globe, it's only natural that what will spread and propagate further here is upper level management. Have you not looked at job listings in any city area before? There are THOUSANDS of management jobs posted daily.

Americans and Europeans who can't handle upper level management jobs must either compete for those fewer and fewer lower level jobs in their neck of the woods, or they should hope to find employment in other, less wealthier countries where those level of jobs are being outsourced to, or they should hope to be covered by their rich parents.

And this is better than how it was before. Why? Because country borders arbitrarily prevented people of talent from proceeding to where they belong. There ARE people of talent being born in 3rd world countries even if you don't want to believe that. They not only deserve a chance, but we want them to work for us, because that means more power for us.
