Actually, yes. I would love for the ability to be able to buy parts to repair anything that I own. I am perfectly fine if the vendor then refuses to warranry the device if I make my own repairs or otherwise limit my rights to sue or things like that.
what legal systems enforce what artificial obsolescence? ...and how does this prevent capital accumulation?

The enforcement of IP restrictions on aftermarket parts and anti-hacking restrictions on circumventing DRM as a service. The result is that the lower cost option to obtain a base capability (car, tractor, what have you) by refurbishing is constrained.

so the working class's ability to accumulate capital is based on the fact that a new radiator for their car costs $121 https://www.amazon.com/Spectra-Premium-CU2310-Complete-Radiator/dp/B000C7TUMU … and not based on the fact that they spend money on cigarettes and lottery instead of saving?
