While I agree with the anti-capitalist sentiment, your anger is misaimed. Forcibly keeping nonprofitable jobs which are easily replaceable by AI is contrary to contemporary marxian-derivative theories (see Bullshit jobs by David Graber). We, as a society should seize technical advancements such as AI and automation to let people work less while allowing them to afford life. Thus contemporary economists and modern monetary theories are more and more open to the idea of universal basic income.
See my other response, your take is the same as mine and I’m not sure how it got misinterpreted.
Under capitalism automation hurts the working class and enriches the elite even more.
Under a socialist system automation would be celebrated as less work for society and the displaced workers would have no panic about not paying the bills while they find a more needed way to help society.
