The bourgeois hireling exposes himself
I do tend to have this conversation with "leftists" who are against AI doing these sorts of service jobs. These jobs are meaningless and degrading for the people in them. The issue is we need to work to live in an age of abundant resources
Its also anti-marxist. Engels wrote extensively about the luddites (silesian weaver uprising). Marxism is supposed to emancipate the working class from labor and use technology to improve their lives, hell marx himself thought that the technology of his time was nearly sufficient enough so people dont have to work at all.
He was mostly right about that. Any labor above the level of ~25 hours a week is an imposition of the society on the working class, for the sake of overproduction.
