But now you have a class system. Where is your motivation? That is the whole problem with communism. It creates an entitlement attitude. In a small community it can work well, because you can tell who the slackers are and those issues can be addressed. In a larger, more buearucratic society, those porblems fall thru the cracks.

Humans will never automate themselves out of society. Increased automation will free people to pursue alternative activities. Kind of like tv. A hundred years ago, no one had time to watch tv, so even if it existed, it would be pointless. With more effiecient production (of everything) we had "idle" time to invent, manufacture, and watch tv. Plus there was a whole new industry created just to make programming.
