As automation advances, the rich have less need for our labor. If anybody thinks the rich are just gonna universally adopt socialism in order to help the jobless masses, they're crazy.

How does one rectify that with so many claiming the poor do all the work and the rich sponge from them? If the rich kill the poor who will tend to the needs of the rich?

By somewhere around 2050 we're likely to see significant advancements with robotics and AI... who will have access to these technologies? Labor will be phased out. It's not even terribly far off. If we don't redistribute wealth before that occurs, there will never be a means to restrict the wealthy from a level of power we can't even conceive of, and will never get back.

It will happen much earlier than 2050.... at least if you believe Kurzweil.
It looks like it will take 35 years to get to the bottom of that hill on the sled we are on, but that is because you don't realize you are riding a mudslide also (kind of how kurzweil explains the exponential curve of technological discovery). Kurzweil thinks about 2033 will look like what we think 2100 looks like: implementation of nanotechnology in everyday life, virtual everything, life expectancy doubled etc...

Wow, apparently this poll eluded me. The Wisconsin straw poll, Bernie Sanders vs Hillary. Hillary took 49% of the vote, and Sanders took 41%.
I'm quite impressed by his progress, regardless of whether he wins or loses. The left is waking up in this country.

It isn't just the rich that have no use for your ass. It is the consumer. The owners don't much care. They compete with each other and automation benefits the consumer. Are you some kind of Luddite? Should we remove nail guns from construction jobs? Take away the power saws?

You implement an alternate economic structure, as much of the world has done.

"how do you take away capitalism"
"you get rid of it duh"
that doesnt answer my question. Though many other countries have more socialistic tendencies they still have a capitalist foundation.

Are you saying that Capitalism can't be replaced? There are many approaches that we could take to phasing out Capitalism. We could use the political process to stimulate the growth of worker cooperatives, community owned utilities, etc and establish a social base that would be fostered by a Socialist macro-economic structure.
We could also use the political process to implement a Social Democracy and slowly phase in a micro-socialist structure. This is most likely what will happen.
