>>33466I'm gonna go a little easy on you. I don't think there's "bad" and "good" guys so much. After all I have heard many times on this board from anons who have genuine bloodlust and wish to rape and murder the bourgeoisie, including the children and so forth. So morality doesn't really come into it. It's just a pure power struggle between two classes. Marx himself said "when it is our turn, we will not make excuses for the terror." and so on.
Putting that aside, I think capitalism as a system runs on an internal logic that even the richest and most powerful bourgeoisie cannot erase through their willpower alone. You refusing to collaborate wouldn't really change much. Even if the world's richest man, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, stopped collaborating with capitalism, they would just kill him. They would just replace you with a more willing collaborator. There is always a "they" that overwrites "you." So either everyone in the ruling class picks the perfect moment to stop collaborating at the same time, or there is a revolution. The latter is obviously more likely.
As for automation, you are no different than an engineer designing power looms in the 1780s to replace hand loom weavers, just a more advanced form of that. You too may be replaced. However the bourgeoisie are creating a crisis. If you replace workers to cheapen commodities, and workers double as consumers, how will workers pay for cheaper commodities without wages? They are also swelling the reserve army of labor, and making the unemployed dependent upon the employed for survival.
So like the other anon said, you are also an unwitting accelerationist.
