Automation is inevitable anyway and one of the main reasons capitalism is unsustainable. Once wealth creation is out of the hands of the people and into the hands of a few robot manufacturers the only option for society will be a socialist state where everybody is dependent on government for everything. This wouldn't be all bad except the people in charge will much prefer this to be a totalitarian socialist state, bringing the system closer to fascism in practice, creating a society that closely resembles the one in George Orwell's 1984.
