Line goes down because automation replaces labor - only a war that destroys lots of automation can make line go back up

Capitalists have to start taking property from the workers to support their lifestyles

This "alienation" (to use a term which will be comprehensible to the philosophers) can, of course, only be abolished given two practical premises. For it to become an "intolerable" power, i.e. a power against which men make a revolution, it must necessarily have rendered the great mass of humanity "propertyless," and produced, at the same time, the contradiction of an existing world of wealth and culture, both of which conditions presuppose a great increase in productive power, a high degree of its development.

Marx, The German Ideology, 1844

This produces a propertyless mass

Which must eventually revolt or die en masse, because of the final crisis of capitalism. A recession that would have been easily survivable by workers in the 19th century, who may have had a small farm to fall back on p, becomes apocalyptic under these conditions.
