It is in the capitalists' interest to pay their workers less and have them work more, it's in the workers' interests to work less and be paid more.
Stalin mentions a contradiction of imperialism in The Foundations of Leninism. The imperialist states aim to exploit working people in colonized countries but in order to do that they need to create the infrastructure and social stratification of capitalism in order to get their profit, so they force urbanization and essentially "proletarianize" people in these countries but that naturally makes them more revolutionary, and that lead to the explosion of anti-colonial revolutionary movements in Africa, Asia, and South America.
Another contradiction is that the individual capitalist wants to pay workers less, but capitalism in agreggate enters crises of overproduction when workers aren't paid enough to consume. So the goals of the capitalist are not aligned with the good of capitalism, leading to a contradiction.
