@freemo What would happen when robots replace humans in workplaces?

@Palanix That would depend on countless circumstances. What government is controlling this scenario? What laws does it have in place? How easy is it to make a robot? Do the robots think? etc. There is a lot of detail I'd need to know about this scenario to speculate on how it might play out.

@Palanix Without further detail all I can say is that if after robots it remains a capitalism then the above properties of capitalism must remain true. If they are not true then that simply means the introduction of robots, and how the governement responded to it, caused the society to cease being a capitalism.
