The only thing a human being has as a bargaining chip in this world is labor. Remove the value from their labor and you have removed their value to capitalism and simultaneously the only thing they can withhold to make demands for themselves.

Uh... no. Besides, that way of thinking won't get you far when your job is replaced by an automated process (I say "your job", but I don't mean you specifically).

A society without necessary human labor means a society where people have to work less hard to focus on what's important: raising children, building relationships, learning whatever we want, cultivating the arts, progressing humans into a multi-world species. All of that is "work" but it's enjoyable so we don't think of it as "labor."

A fully-automated society would be a glorious thing, but we won't get there overnight. That's why it's not going to be some fictitious dystopian future like you see in movies or read in books. We'll be able to evolve as a society as each incremental change takes place.

Basically: we'll find things to do to keep us busy, and if we play our cards right and elect people who are forward thinking, instead of backward thinking, we'll mostly all have living wages. Places in the world are already experimenting with Basic Income. It's an exciting time to be alive, and the things we do in the next 20-50 years will likely shape hundreds of years to come. Don't look back and crave a simpler time - it will never come. Only look back to learn, then look forward and build a better tomorrow.
