Oh yes I’m sorry I forgot the goal was zero employment

Of course that is the goal. Employment is a necessary evil. Ideally, all human activity should be voluntary.
Agreed, however UNTIL we figure out how to do that, we're stuck with pvp nightmare capitalism

To get where you want, you have to actively change the structure and trajectory of society

I agree that a lot of structural change will be necessary. But automating stuff and solving the associated societal problems will have to go hand in hand.

Fetishising (forced) human labour is deeply ingrained across all political divides and even in psychology and religion.

The political will to make the necessary changes will only exist once it becomes obvious that we have no other choice.
