Productivity multiplies x2 You keep your job x0.5 Your salary x0.8 (because the guy we just fired will gladly do your job for less) Your work hours x1.4 (because now we expect you to do the work of 2 people, but didn’t account for all the overhead that comes with it)

Capitalism encourages you to put your butt in your own seat and reap the rewards of your efforts.

Of course it also provides you the decision making to keep your butt in someone else’s seat if the risk vs. reward of going your own isn’t worth it.

And then it allows your employer to put another butt in your seat if you don’t adopt efficiency patterns.

So: capitalism is compatible with communism as an option, but it’s generally a suboptimal option for one or both parties.
