And while cost-per-unit does indeed fall with automation -- the worker becoming more and more superfluous to the process, as is intended -- **so does the rate-of-profit as well**: because, as we should *all* know -- it is the *Surplus-Labor* of the worker which IS the source of the Industrialists' profit... And so we have an _essential_ contradiction here. And the thing about essential contradictions is -- they are insurmountable. In spite of ENDLESS, hysterical, brow-beating propaganda to the contrary.
