capitalists have a justification to pay us shit wages
That’s still a capitalism problem. 10 people working produces more than 10x the wealth of 1 person’s labor. It’s capitalism that causes the uneven distribution of that greater wealth.
The earth has enough resources to give a good quality of life to everyone living on it and more besides. The failure of capitalism to provide well planned urban communities, fair wages or QoL is not reflective of human nature.
There is not too many of us in India. India is an urbanizing society, meaning that there is a large amount of migration from rural areas to urban areas, leaving urban areas with a surplus population and driving down urban wages. This is a process that all capitalist countries went through at some point in their lifespans, including England, whose example Marx analyses 200 years ago. Back when its population was on the order of 10 million (it is over 80 million today).
By providing full employment, the communist countries were able to industrialize very rapidly while maintaining decent wages. It is a capitalism problem.

I wanna argue the 10x bit: specialization and organization is a force multiplier in terms of production.
Correct
It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.

That is literally eco-facist rethoric. Stop trying to shift the blame away from capitalism when it’s obviously the problem
