Adopting more productive technology corresponds to increasing relative surplus value (a.k.a. real subsumption), when maximizing profitability brings changes to the productive process. Capitalism socializes the productive process by bringing workers together, deepening the division and specialization of labor, knitting together ever-more-complex supply chains, and making each producer dependent on every other. Marx believes that there is no undoing what capitalism has done in robbing producers of their independence, but that this socialization creates new opportunities for human freedom without independence
only a few of the supply chains are actually productive, and the majority are producing more than is needed. The solution is to have fewer labourers not more and capitalism provides a convenient way to shrink the size naturally (joblessness into homelessness into starvation).
The overwhelming majority of supply chains are productive, there is no value without labor and/or natural resources. Overproduction is an inherent fact of capitalism, and reducing laborers both reduces surplus value extraction and reduces the potential for profit by reducing the number of customers. Capitalism brutally killing off the reserve army of labor is a way to keep workers desparate and willing to work for as little as possible, it isn’t a way to curb overproduction.
