This is one of the most inane things I've read on HN in years, and that is a lot of competition. Bush fires happening in forests throughout history happened due to lighting strikes and what have you, at least before modern times. Random natural events. Economic activity is a considered, thought out socialized activity - the central societal activity. You're advocating the necessity of unnecessary problems due to other unnecessary problems - recessions are needed due to market inefficiencies, misallocated capital (cryptocurrency companies?), risky credit, leverage risk, riskier bets, zombie companies survive on loans, asset prices increase beyond reason, and a system incapable of monotonous growth. Your cure for this is all the maladies of a recession - higher unemployment, GDP actually shrinking etc. You list out many of the maladies of the current state of the relations of production and your solution is more maladies. This thinking is at best insular, unimaginative, limited and provincial. It is only tautological within a very limited view, where your solution for all the maladies you list out is self inflicting the malady of negative GDP growth and the maladies surrounding that.
