The machine takeover today and the next few decades is unprecedented. Machines will replace all but a few jobs. Denying this seems to me an attempt to salvage the neo-liberal doctrine that everyone should work and that those who receive government benefits are freeloaders and thieves. What needs to be faced is not only the falsehood of trickle-down libertarian economics/neo-liberalism etc., but the fact that it is outdated. This is hard for believers in the ideology to accept; an ideology that still dominates our government after over 37 years of failure.
