The automation of work grows everyday.

[EvilRedGuy]

For sure.

Post-scarcity/money-less isn't a theory anymore its actually proven.

[aristos]

Too bad in the hands of the ruling class it will only lead to mass impoverishment and starvation.

[CommunityBeliever]

Well at least our elderly people that happen to have large sums of money to purchase and maintain robotic devices will be relatively well off now :thumbup1:

Too bad in the hands of the ruling class it will only lead to mass impoverishment and starvation.

That will not be in their interests, because it will greatly lower the demand for their products.

That is why robotisation of the workforce can never happen under Capitalism.

[aristos]

You don't seem to understand that capitalism in the classical sense is not the end-goal of the capitalists.
So yes, robotisation - total and complete - is very much in their interests.
