There is nothing "capitalistic" about that. First, I would consider mandatory education a socialist policy, not a capitalist one. It's completely against the concept of a free market. I would say it's the result of politics, namely a good part of 2nd wave feminism (but not all) and the destruction of family as an institution. Broken families dependant on welfare are golden for any centralised power who needs votes every 5 years. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure big businesses (who are in bed with the government) benefited plenty from having twice the workforce. More competition in the workplace, lower wages. AND you sound progressive, because you're giving women the privilege of being able to work like your husband. But there is nothing capitalistic about big businesses profiting from centralised political propaganda. That's the opposite of capitalism. Automation won't be enough to reduce the number of hours, you need to change people's minds: we don't need a technical solution to work less, we need a social, political one. EDIT: I didn't realise you support Antifa in your bio (I really don't, couldn't be further away from supporting political violence), which is surprising given we actually agree on the premise, which is that people are working too much and we left government puppets growing our children instead of doing it ourselves.
