    Automation is very obviously not inherently anti-labor. The way automation is used under capitalism is, but I didn’t really expect any deep intellectual insights from you.

      Not inherently

      until you look around and see that automation eliminates large swaths of the workforce exactly 100% of the time…. over multiple centuries and counting.

      Don’t worry. We’ll soon face the consequences of the dystopian hellscape you’re so tirelessly advocating for.

        First of all, that’s obviously false. Second of all, go look at unemployment rates in USSR. You literally have no clue regarding the subject you’re attempting to debate here. However, even your whole premise is insane. We shouldn’t strive to do work for the sake of work. Automating toil away so people can spend their lives in a self directed fashion is unarguably a good thing. You’re just arguing for having what David Graeber called bullshit jobs here.
