Technology and its relationship with the capitalist system or socialism are inseparable, according to the initiative presented in ChatPTS. Developers emphasize leveraging technology to free up time from alienating tasks and engage in more enriching activities. Although they recognize the limitations of using technology developed in capitalism, they seek a revolutionary and collective use for an alternative future framed within a transition program towards socialism.
Within the debates on technology and class struggle, ChatPTS has raised questions about technological autonomy, technological sovereignty, and their relation to human liberation from work. It is debated whether technology can dismantle the edifice of capitalism or if it is predestined to serve its interests. There is also the possibility of the expropriation of technological infrastructures from large corporations to advance towards a socialist program.
The developers of ChatPTS aim to improve the tool, maintain human militant communication, and avoid replicating the conditions of capitalist exploitation in its functioning. The necessity for democratic debate on scientific-technological development and its potential impact on a socialist society is raised. Amid these discussions, ChatPTS presents itself as a tool to open ideological debates and spread socialist ideas.
ChatPTS is conceived as a gateway to the political debates and elaborations of the PTS, which seeks to harness the liberating potential of modern technology to strengthen a socialist alternative. Despite the criticisms and debates generated around the tool, its usefulness for political training, preparation for militant activities, and dissemination of leftist ideas is highlighted. Developers recognize the need to improve aspects such as usability, security, and effectiveness of the tool in the future.
