The thing is that capitalism isn't "good" at anything; all value is produced by workers

Why's that bad? Value has to be produced somehow, either by people or machines.

automation shouldn't be a threat to workers

Depends on the automation. Automation can unlock workers to perform more meaningful tasks. Throughout history machines have taken over people's jobs to increase productivity, but said machines have spawned jobs.

capitalism doesn't make us any better at producing anything. in many ways it makes us worse. under capitalism, automation means people will lose their jobs.
