Capitalism is good because it gets people to work hard

What the fuck do you think labor camps are?

I mean, in any kind of anti-communist propaganda, there's always some fearmongering about all the grueling labor they'll make you do.

healthy outdoors activities :^)

Giving the great believers in hard work exactly what they want.

fully automated luxury communism, my dude

This, because you allegedly move up the socio-economic ladder. If, indeed you work very, very hard.
You don't move up in a socialist society if you work hard. Supposedly you are enriching the collective and thus yourself by proxy, but you aren't ascended above others and given special access to rare high status resources. A lot of capitalists disdain for socialism is the perceived lack of
meritocratic aristocracy. There are in theory no entrenched high skill, high talent labor classes that can attain special political representation and financial status. Which irks someone who likes to be constantly ascending in social rank and material wealth. There really are a lot of people who are gluttonous, avaricious, vain sociopaths. Their intentions and motivations are incompatible with socialism, in theory.

the whole point is to expand production capacity to the point where we can provide for everyone without wage slavery

that's not whats happening, they're impoverishing people, devaluing their labor, displacing them from being able to pool generational wealth (by attacking multi-generational families and forcing old people to keep working instead of retiring because no savings). You can't ask for communism from techno-capitalism. Techno-capitalism manufactures hiearchy on all levels of society. The IT and Bio-tech conglomerates will not allow the advances in tech to lead to people being free from dependence on the market system. You will work, you will owe them duties for the welfare and you will not seize intellectual property rights or the internet or any part of the genetic engineering industry. It will be owned by untouchable financial-tech coteries of trillionaires. You people are lunatics, this is exactly what the New Elite the Digorati want. you're doing exactly what the biggest porkies in history hoped for, acceptance of the machine god. Its there ticket to total dominion over the species. It will colonize every nation, every economy no matter how populist will be subject to its market dynamics. Facebook, Google, Microsoft are untouchable, Pfizer is untouchable. These people are the actual rulers of this planet and the biggest financial interests invest in their companies. They are not interested in sharing wealth. You can live comfortably, as their pet or you can die. That's there offer to us, i don't think any sane person would accept being the pet of some techno-oligarch

The system breaks down once production has advanced so far and exploitation has become so entrenched that it chokes on its own excess and produces more goods than it can sell back to the workers.

Its a two-sided problem; there are more goods and services to absorb, but all the money has been concentrated into capital investment by the capitalists, so there isnt enough aggregate demand to balance it.

And? What's the problem?

What has the global south ever done for me?

Agreed, user. I love making things for people (electronics, board game shit, etc) but I loathe the idea of having to market it, not having any say in the work and generally being shit on by some ass-backwards porky. I work at a call center because it's the only job that I could find. It's fucking garbage and I feel like I contribute nothing to better someone's life at all.

This line of thinking is what made me interested in communism in the first place.
