Either automation frees us from labor, or the labor will tear down the machines. It's as simple as that.

You are a poor worker. You are your buddies are forced to toil at machines that manufacture basics like food, clothing, and transportation appliances, and more discretionary things, like electoronics, communication equipment, and various other tools.

Someone says "Down with the bourgeoisie!" and you all tear down the machines. Now you have no food, no clothing, no tools, and nothing to entertain yourselves with.
Good job, you poor starving morons!
