Hence the communist manifesto dropped 200 years too early. Countries that use communism are far too early at adopting the philosophy because it requires production to exceed consumption on a massive scale. The hybrid model in mixed capitalist/welfare doesn't work so well because we're introducing a labour force (robots) that doesn't fit our economic model. Edit: What we'll probably see is an introduced free basic income to help the economy along (and the people who lost those jobs) at the expense of other tax payers. And that, my friends is gravitation toward the end of capitalism. If we're talking 60% of the labor force.. Seems like it anyway
