That’s one potential ending. The other is making people homeless than then making being homeless illegal and using that as a threat against the remaining people…
nah what actually happens is that capital brings out the pigs and the army and the propaganda and most of the time win, its almost like we need to organize on a bigger scale and all work together and hold the power of the sate ourselves rather than letting capitalist run a dictatorship, idk maybe something like a dictatorship of the workers or something.
Yeah, that will not happen. People need security, either for themselves or for their family, then you have peer pressure and social obligations. People rarely quit nowadays. Why would they in the future?
The real problem I see all the time is people keep cutting this story short, the rest goes:
Workers: oh fuck no, I’m out, see ya.
Capital: wait, not like that. Please. What do you want? We can talk. Please … please come back.
Weird to me that last bit gets left off, especially in subs like Socialism and Work Reform.
Don’t forget how the story ends.

Someone didn’t read about how automation serves to discipline workers and make it even harder to collectively bargain I see

There’s one before that too:
Workers: well at least prices will go down in aggregate, so our dollars will be worth more due to deflation
If that’s how the story ended then the standard of living wouldn’t continue to decline for the workers.
We have a falling job rate, and a highly globalized workforce that is still climbing the population curve. Do the math.
