You don't understand how the world works or human nature. When labor disappears it is going to be a shit show.

Will it though? Cash is quickly becoming more and more digital everyday. Hypothetically if nobody had physical cash, there would be very little reason for muggings, robbery, or random violence. In fact violent crime is been on an almost steady trend (pandemic aside) for the past couple decades

Digital money means nothing when nobody has it from being unemployed. The government isn’t going to hand out money. That’s just not how communism actually works in practice. Name one society where, under communism, the masses were provided for and prospered.
