This is correct, so I'd really appreciate it if you took me seriously when I said the problem here is that the value of labor, all human labor, not just desk jobs, because we're going to get useful robots soon too, is going to zero and if you have a socialist bone in your body we need to organize.

Note that this doesn't need to be literally imminent for us to need to organize right now. Even if this was a twenty years away concern, that means we need to organize right now. Unfortunately I do not think this is a twenty years away concern.

Organize to what end? This is always my question. Tell me what you think the point of this organizing should be.m, because if the answer isn’t, “we should utilize automation to break capitalism’s back so none of us have to work even 20 hrs a week doing shit we hate to live well,” I’m not down.

Yeah that is what I mean, what else would I mean?

The problem highlighted here shows how Marx is correct even now. Why is it that everyone loses out once they can't sell their labor anymore? Its because capitalists have the money to buy the means of production, all the inputs, AND the money to buy their own consumption goods made from the process.
