No one is fighting to work like slaves. I don’t know where you’re getting that idea. People just want to put food on the table and companies are fighting that very thing. Yes, we all SHOULD be fighting for a better standard of living, but since everyone disagrees on how to achieve that, we have to fight for the next best thing.
When people fight against things that destroy jobs, they are fighting to stay slaves.
The state of things is that capitalists stole progress for themselves. Fighting to take it back would be a better fight. Fighting to get food or shelter in exchange for now tech to capitalists would be a better fight. Fighting capitalists would be a better fight. But people fight to keep serving the capitalists, they fight for the status quo in fear that the change will make their miserable life worse. It's not a winning fight.
