There's another way to frame that: What if it's a coincidence that the rent of labor has afforded a tolerable lifestyle for the masses and lavish lifestyles for capital owners for nearly 200 years? And, what if this coincidence that has supported a social order (explicit or de facto capitalism) is coming to an end?
I'm fond of Zizek's remark that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. It seems apposite, here.
