I think its certainly an argument to revolutionize the economy. With all that techonology has given us I don't think its too out there to say that if we didn't live in a capitalist system, many of us wouldn't have to work to the bone like we do. We wouldn't have to work so many hours just to make ends meet. When robots become more efficient and certainly once AI is created, many of our unskilled work will be obsolete. Even things very vital to our survival like farming could have robots doing the backbreaking work. They'll need maintenance but that's "skilled" labour. So what happens to the unskilled labour market?
The very rich will have to find new arguments for their decadence.
