Well said. My worry is that reaching post-scarcity and shared ownership of capital is only a relevant goal so long as the Capitalists and the Redundant have biology and sociology in common. It may be that the classes diverge enough in a short enough time frame that the Capitalists no longer feel a kindred humanity to the Redundants, and would no longer see a reason to include them in the communist plan. I mean we already see this empathetic disconnect between the ultra rich and dirt poor in today's society.
Capitalists who achieve post-scarcity may look around and see "high" humans, beneficiaries of advanced biotech, and masses of apparent troglodytes, with whom they have less in common than we do with dogs.
