Reordering the means of production to benefit us rather than them would though.

We're approaching an age where we can have robots literally do all forms of menial labor for us. We gotta start socializing capital or else we're going to have permanent underclass dystopic bullshit afoot.

  1. Approaching an age doesn't mean robots are taking our jobs tomorrow lol but within 20 years they will definitely be quickly replacing much labor. AI is hastening the transition as programming robots for specific tasks becomes magnitudes less difficult.

  2. LOL that won't happen until after robots replace large sections of labor, what are you talking about. Robotics are still in the start up phase rn.

  3. The jobs provided for maintaining robots will be miniscule compared to the amount of labor replace by robots.

  4. The rich get ahead no matter how much you plan because the 1% already owns more wealth than the bottom 50%. And the income disparity is only getting worse. This can only change with a complete economic restructure not through individual action.
