It's because of competition. Someone else will find a way to produce your product faster, better or more of it at the same costs, with less people, using new technology which requires a higher turnover but has fewer costs, and you will lack capital to invest in that machine to make your business competitive again. Even if you do have it, there are now two companies with that machine who invested capital and require a higher turnover, but the market is limited and one of you, if not both, will fail to bring in the return on the investment, let alone make enough money to invest in the next machine. That effect can be seen all the time, the current best example in Europe is the automotive industry, the next one will be giga factories, AI data centers.

They aren't writing any of that, they explainer box below says

Einordnung: Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Beispielen in dieser Broschüre ist im vorliegenden Fall der Interpretationsspielraum, ob oder inwiefern hier antisemitischer Gehalt vorhanden ist, deutlich größer. Die folgende Analyse zeigt, dass dieses Fallbeispiel aufgrund seiner Bildsprache sowohl als legitime Kritik als auch als antisemitisch verstanden werden kann.

Translation:

Context: Unlike the other examples in this brochure, in this case there is significantly more room for interpretation regarding whether or to what extent anti-Semitic content is present. The following analysis shows that, due to its visual language, this case study can be interpreted as both legitimate criticism and as anti-Semitic.

Also, don't equate the German government to its intelligence service, it's more complicated than that.

I'm not an expert, but I think Marx would argue that all commodities should be under the power of society, the working class should decide what to do with it. Not different to any other rules over the land before.

The difference is, whether it is used for consumption or as means of production. If it's used for division of labor and creates surplus, it's means of production. Some things can be used as both, but not at the same time.

Land and natural resources are seen as commodities and have different properties in Marx' theories.
