    No shot that capitalist are gonna let us work less. Productivity has been going up for decades but work hours and pay have been stagnant. What this actually means is that the bourgeoisie will create higher demand for jobs by raising unemployment (through cutting staff and replacing them with ai) so that they can treat you worse and profit more.

    And that’s not even to mention how keeping us tired and working prevents the proletariat from worrying about or even being able to put effort into anything anything that might hurt their bottom line.

    You don’t have time for revolution if your too busy and tired to read theory and develop class consciousness. You will not have time or energy to organize labor or do any non-profit work if your free time is so limited that you have to spend it just recovering.
