You've got it backwards: Capitalists want to take the skill, craft, and intelligence out of a job so people are more replaceable, even if it makes the end product worse.

No. I don't. It's easy as fuck to be a line cook at fast food. Low skill, no intelligence needed.

It's only low skill because everything has been standardized and prepped ahead of time. Even then, there is skill required to effectively and efficiently execute a standardized procedure.

No it's not. It's easy as shit to take ground beef , dump some salt and pepper on it, and add condiments.
