Looking to the future

  In 2030, when Labor Day is coming, I get a ten-day holiday from my work at the Ministry of Social Affairs. For this ten-day Labor Day holiday, I have prepared holiday coupons from the Socialist State of Hawaii for my family as gifts. These holiday coupons are in exchange for the labor points I get from my work; my life is very fulfilling, and I play my due role in my job. My family and I have socially allocated houses and cars, and of course, if I have other requests, I can submit applications as long as I have enough labor points. For now, I live an easy life, and the only problem for me is that my work at the Ministry of Social Affairs takes up almost one third of my day. Although I face a very heavy workload, the ORGA system can automatically calculate labor point for me, so it is never a concern for me that my work will not be rewarded as it should be.

  By 2070, after retiring for 10 years and nearly reaching the age of 75, I have already well adapted to my life in retirement and settled on the seaside of the socialist state of Virginia. The science and technology in 2070 evolves to be more advanced than that in 2030, but it is still based on the ORGA system designed by scientists in the scientific and technological innovation during the Great Revolution. The big data that was used by human beings back in 2010 is now being used in this system to connect people all over the world. The capital market is now completely controlled by algorithms instead of people. Everyone does a job that he or she is good at and get the labor points that he or she deserves. The virtual points allocated by the algorithm have completely replaced money and has become an integral part of one’s entire life. People work with the help of the system, and surplus of products is no longer a concern, because people’s needs can be coordinated and production workers can be guided in production through algorithm. By 2070, the government’s priority is no longer to exercise leadership over its people, but to maintain and constantly update the system, so a large number of scientists have gained access to the system and begun to lead the government, and the government has pruned its overstaffed public sectors to only one or two emergency sectors. The Ministry of Social Affairs is responsible for maintaining law and order in socialist countries, while the Ministry of People is responsible for collecting people’s demands and submitting them directly to the system. The concept of country has become less important. With the exception of a few capitalist countries, most countries in the world have re-socialized and restored the Comintern. Countries no longer set up their borders and allow free mobility of their populations, share educational resources and work together to establish education systems, jointly distribute and produce resources, and people no longer has ethnic consciousness. People of all ethnic groups can communicate in real time through the system. As a result, people around the world are brought much closer and no longer feel distanced from each other. Through the ORGA chip installed on the arm, people can communicate holographically with the people in their contact list. As a builder of this socialist colossus, I feel honored and I work hard to learn the new functions of the system that are updating every year.
  By 2220, nearly 200 years have passed since the completion of ORGA, all countries in the world have completely entered the communist society. ORGA has become the third “hand” of mankind. After two hundred years of update, ORGA still exists and continues to be updated. Although it has become a “the ship of Theseu”, people are still happy to call it ORGA in recognition of the great contribution the system has made to mankind. An increasing number of people are keen on biological transformation, that is, using cell regeneration technology to constantly update their bodies like systems in order to achieve longevity, but because their brains can only store limited resources, these people have to upload their memories to the ORGA cloud for storage every 70 years, which causes them to forget most of the things after storage, unless they download the previous memories to their brains. This controversial technology has caused great controversy at the Comintern People’s Congress. However, most people still choose to transfer their thoughts and consciousness to the ORGA cloud at the end of their life, which are then stored by ORGA. In this way, although they are “dead”, their loved ones can apply for permission to talk to them when commemorating them. For me, I stick to be a traditional communist; I choose not to store any thoughts or consciousness at the end of my life.
