How do you come to that conclusion?
I think we'll get massive inequality because it'll be far easier to develop new technology than change the core ideology of capitalist society through some secular process. If a "better redistribution of wealth" were in the cards, it probably should have happened already, and probably cannot happen after the 99% loose most of their economic power by being replaced by automation.
If the 1% are forward-thinking, they'll push a UBI scheme to keep the 99% from getting too disruptive before they become irrelevant.
