This is what happened to the Luddites. Don't see many cloth weavers around anymore.

It's not.

I'm not proposing we smash the machines - I'm proposing we share the benefit of the productivity they take over, and use it to fund people to work less rather than pouring all the benefits of the work that those machines do into the pockets of the likes of Bezos at the direct expense to workers.

Use the machines for good rather than amplifying evil.
