Another way to think about it might be "how do we give workers bargaining power, without them withdrawing their labour?"

How can we use capital to create meaningful work, rather than the status quo oscillation left<-->right?

Using capital just automate for the sake of excluding workers is (IMO) silly. Improving safety and reliability, fine. But capital is also needed to start new labour intensive jobs, and anti-labour capitalism has a blind spot for this, and it leads to more political unrest.

I mean, that's the bazillion-euro question, right?

Incredibly difficult.

I would love to apply stochastic principles to it, using random choice to break deadlocks and force choice.
