That's true in a general sense; but it's not an ethical imperative to do more work than required in a capitalist society. You are paid either by the hour or by the month; if you do more than what it takes to not be fired, the excess is stolen by the capitalist. If everyone both did less and consumed less, on purpose and in coordination, it would be a "soft" general strike, which would go a long way towards overthrowing capitalism.
This is once again technically true but also the exact same argument used to stop people from unionizing or fighting for their rights. You are not responsible for the business failing; the business owner is. If they didn't steal excess value, you could do the same work and the business would be afloat.
On that I 100% agree.
That's not how any of this works. This reads like voting with your wallet. Your can't do collective action alone
You can't go on strike on your own, you're just forcing others to cover for you until you get fired. You can't slow work on your own, you're just not pulling your weight and forcing others to pick up the slack
You know what they call it when everyone independently consumes less and works less? Market conditions.
It's already happening now, and companies will never think "what if I paid my workers fairly and skimmed only a sustainable amount off the top...". No, they will learn the wrong lesson every single time, because it's their job to do so
The organization part is not optional.
