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!

Enemies of the invisible hand are :
* Are mindless zombies th iat will just run into the bullet
* Can't organize

No one said they can't organize, or be smart and scheming. It's just that...

How about "Down with the bourgeoisie!" and you all tear down the bourgeoisies and take the machines ??

... if they take the machines, including the "machines" of business structures and supply chains, they won't know how to run them, and those machines will be useless to them. And if they do know how to run them, they will simply become the new bourgeoisie, being all arrogant in thinking they "know how to run things" or that the machines and the business "won't run without them," or even having the audacity to ask for higher pay, just because they think their jobs are "more important" or "more difficult." And this cycle will continue, until there are no more bourgeoisie left, and no one knows how to run the machines and businesses equally.
