People don't want to work for capitalist bosses, in the eyes of the capitalist bosses that becomes nobody wants to work in general, because obviously they can't imagine them selves being part of the motivation problem.

Marx thought that when class society was overcome, work would become live's prime want. This will be true to an extend non-alienated work can be extremely rewarding in a way that waging for porky can never be. But realistically there is work that is just dread-full regardless of the social relations.

No, dead labor, is labor that achieves no productive output. Like making mud pies. I don't know what you have been reading but it isn't Marx.

>Marx made the argument that technological advances would undermine the rate of profit, and that isn't entirely true.


Marx pointed out that the tendency of the rate of profit to fall happens because of innovation in the market, or, through greater exploitation of labor. I am unaware of any writings he made where he clearly states that this would cause the system of capitalism to collapse. Marx understood that over throwing the system of capitalism was in the individual interest of the working class as a whole and up to us to pick up sed reigns of history.

Now, capitalism can become something else other than capitalism as we know it through market mechanisms such as the rate of profit to fall and rolling the dice maybe that could be communism (though I highly doubt that would be the case in the modern day and age.) but this sounds a whole lot like the misreadings of Marx as some deterministic path of history when it clearly wasn't.

Also you are going to have to explain how the technological argment was "refusted" because I work and I don't have time to really watch the video currently though I can catch up to it in the future, though, I have trouble believing this because it clearly makes intuitive sense.

I agree that people should make their own arguments but it's a bit silly to believe some one doesn't or does have a point based on the fact they merely posted a video or that videos/books mean that some one has been "indoctrinated" That is just anti-intellectualism. Everything we know about our entire reality has slowly been built up and passed on to us now over the course of hundreds of thousands of years.
Math, Science, Language, Writing, philosophy. We stand on the shoulders of giants, etc etc.

>Maybe in absolute terms more energy and complexity is emerging but relative to the amount of wealth being created complexity and energy use are dramatically going down.
Societies that deploy more complex technology use more energy without exception.
Measuring how much total energy was embodied in a commodity (assuming that is what you mean with wealth) is almost impossible in a capitalist economy, because capitalist economics doesn't record externalized costs.

> With AI a single worker will be able to run an entire factory floor, it will unironically be like "The Jetsons".

That means increasing the amount of capital-stock, You need the regular factory production machines plus the AI tools.
The rate of profit goes down if Capital-stock increases proportionally to the population size.
Capitalism is not tending towards the Jetsons scenario. The capitalists are not investing in technology driven labor productivity increases anymore. It has completely stagnated for over a decade. (see graph)

How do young people even move out of their parents now? I'm nearly 18 years old with zero plans to go to college and I don't have my driver's license. I live in California so rent will cost an arm and a leg. My dad bought a house in this hellhole and he's expecting me to work and help him pay the mortgage if I want to live to live here. I don't want to live in this hot as fuck place, if you know California as it is now it's getting hotter every year and the fires get worse and worse. What I really want is a place to start fresh in another state, but rent is going to be costly as fuck in every city in this country.

The answer is literally in Capital Volumn 1. Any time that the means of production are not actively being used they are losing value. Thus, it behooves the ruling class to keep them producing as close to constantly as possible. When extending workers hours stopped being practical, shift work become a necessity.

Recently my camper toilet was backed up so we basically had to keep shitting in a giant pile of shit that smelled horrible and we had to literally take a giant pipe and stab a giant pool of shit and get shit all over the place in order to unclog the tank. it was fucking disgusting. I had literal shit all over me.
