Abstract
The key to the contradiction of too many or too few people lies in who pays and who earns. If companies reduce costs and increase income by laying off workers or using robots, and then hand over this income to the government for pension payments, the problem would be solved. Capitalist countries cannot turn the money of businesses and the wealthy into government funds, and thus cannot resolve the issues of too many or too few people. With the development of artificial intelligence, more and more jobs will be replaced by AI and robots, leading to a rapid increase in unemployment. The government should implement a basic communist welfare system. Among the relief systems, work relief is more important than giving money. There are numerous jobs around us that need to be done but no one is willing to pay for them. The government can provide a large number of job opportunities by adopting the policy of work relief. Now, every Chinese person prioritizes their own interests. The lives of many disabled people and those without insurance are in hardship and no one cares about them. China needs to launch a new era of collectivization movement and create a group of new collective organizations.
