Robots solve inequality in a social, humane society. Not in Capitalism. Capitalism is based on inequality, it cannot survive without oppression.
Robots are just the new slave labour. The old slave labour is now redundant so doesn't need to be fed.
It actually can't survive without slavery. We just call it offshore labor now.
Sure, Offshore it to our local slaves we tend to call prisoners.
We still do that too. For other domestic cheap labor we use Mexicans primarily.
Slavery is oppression so they’re still right, and oppression includes more things than just slavery which is more true. Capitalism is designed to give power to money, not equal power to people. It doesn’t even serve as a way to give a louder voice to those who work hard because it’s about having money and not about how said money was made.
So, yes, but you’ve made the comment less accurate.
