You need to keep the proles engaged in wage slavery to prevent them from organizing. That way, they get invested in the capitalist system and are resistant to change via employer-provided health insurance, 401k, and so on. Make every worker a little capitalist so they never want to revolt. It also helps that the jobs are completely soul-sucking and reduce their will to live.
In a capitalist system you wouldn’t have economic security, though. You would be begging in the streets without a wage. They try to keep a relatively stable amount of unemployed and unhoused people to scare the working class but not let it get too out of hand because then the people with idle hands might actually have the numbers to do something with them.

Idk if I and everyone else had plenty of free time and economic security I wouldn’t be all we have to change this.
