All of these advances come from forces opposing capitalism and threatening to leverage the inequality it creates against the ruling class.

 
Those rights and increases in the standard of living were not just handed down one day by magnanimous capital holders who thought, "I guess I have enough now.". They were earned in literal blood by the collective actions of labour movments as they were beaten and killed by police and strike breakers on the payroll of capital holders.
Also this. The gall to say "you work less now than you did before capitalism because of capitalism."

First of all, that's not true. Feudal peasants didn't work 8+ hours every day. Work day length increased with capitalism because capitalists want infinite money, which necessitates producing as much crap as possible, which means we work beyond our productive capacity and even what automation should entail.

Second, the rights we have today, rights which are slowly being stripped today, were won from people literally fighting capitalists to the death.

 

Yes, of course. But those people fighting for workers' rights weren't fighting the system.

They absolutely were fighting the system. The system produced the conditions of a 50-million hour workday. It's like saying slavery doesn't lead to slave revolts. Like, what????

In which capitalism has driven technological innovation and incentivize growth and efficiency like advances in automation and AI that has significantly decreased the time required to produce goods and services which is a hellscape, but also capitalism has made everyone work their fingers to the bone for infinite growth - which is a hellscape.  Both realities exist at the same time.   Almost as if Nepenthe will insist on any scenario to empower her ridiculous ideology.
