"explicit goal of automating away the middle class, after they've finished automating away the poor." What is happening is a new "lesser-human" is being created. Something that is enslaved to these corporations and doing it's work without freedoms. This is the same thinking as slavery. But now it's if you can't treat actual humans as slaves, might as well create humanoids that you own and enslave them.
