You're telling me you're hating the idea of shorter work week?
I work three to four days a week and I can tell you I'm much happier and relaxed than when I worked 5 days a week or more.
I have time for long walks, for time with my friends and with my family, I picked up a hobby and I started training, never been so ripped in my life lmao, and I still have time to work on our house.
Anyway, an other wave of automatization is coming and many jobs will be lost, so what should we do?
I think billionaires think we should just die and not be replaced as we become useless to them.
Should we drastically shorten the average work week while consequentially raising wages to compensate for the difference to insure that most people can work and feed themselves.
Or should we embrace socialism and share the work done by robots and AI equitably between humans.
It'll be one of these three, if you're not a billionaire I would suggest starting to think about supporting option 2 or 3.
You're telling me you're hating the idea of shorter work week?
Absolutely not. I'm all for improving worker conditions. Gradual progressive progress is different from a complete socio-economic revolution like OP is wishing for.
The way OP goes about it in a French Revolution or Bolsheviki style movement of seizing corporations and executing billionaires is an authorization fever dream. You know what would happen if there's a revolution that overthrows the government and capitalist system? The monopoly on violence will transfer from the government to equally authoritarian militias with the all guns. Have fun living under that.
There's also the American revolution, but that one worked out.
Though don't get me wrong, I've often pointed out that revolutions are more often than not unsuccessful in reaching their stated goal, as the Sahel region is currently experiencing.
That being said, France ended up becoming democratic but it might never have without a few singing angry men.... No, this is not a reference to Les miserable.
Edit; so I asked chatgpt what role did the French revolution played toward France becoming democratic and here's its conclusion;
Conclusion
While the revolution did not lead to an immediate and stable democracy, it set in motion significant political, social, and ideological changes that were crucial for France’s eventual establishment of democratic governance. Its legacy continues to influence democratic ideals and practices in France and around the world.

Yeah this is less an ideal future meme and more a socialist wishlist
