*Imagine*. That all labour is assumed by robotics/automation. What then?
Do you complain that 'no-one can work! It's a tragedy!'
Or does ownership of the means of production naturally become a state obligation?
This is not a hypothetical about ownership of labour. It is a question about a fast-approaching inevitability.
What does happen when humans no longer need work? What happens to capitalism then? Do we find new ways to leverage survival? Or do we change our minds about what 'life' is actually about?
