I am asking this question, because there does not seem to be a modern logical solution.

I hear a lot of people say that socialism might solve a lot of problems, but I don't think it has any practicality.

Looking at jobs hiring trends, a lot of businesses are almost stopping their hirings, in favour of investing in automation. Which means 5-10 years down the line, "worker owned" might be closer to fiction.

AI is replacing a lot of jobs now and while the trend that new technologies create jobs, I think that jobs might come after 15-40 years.

Are humanity hopeless?

You're gonna have to defend the socialism take with this audience (including me). From my perspective you disregarded a huge set of possible solutions then said "idk how to solve this".

In the other comment you said you haven't done much research. There is a lot of diversity in leftism. I personally lean towards anarcho federalism.

Nothing is truly hopeless. The world is far too complicated to seal any future shut all the way. There will always be routes. (Though it may end up as unlikely as your perfect world materializing instantly due to quantum teleportation)
