There are only 2 ways the worker-capitalist contradiction can ever be solved:

  • communism
  • exterminism (from Peter Frase's Four Futures), where the capitalists finally fulfill their dream of automating everything and can genocide all the unneeded workers.

It's quite important we bring about revolution before option 2 becomes viable.
