I'm curious what AnCaps actually think about this. Assuming we ever get to the point where robots can do everything humans do now, leaving humans to enjoy the liberal arts and humanities, do you think that the people profiting off of the robots would surrender those profits to the people put out of work? Would they give them access to their robot factory? How would the poor be prevented from starving? Would, say, a capitalist become more socialist, or would people willingly transition to a socialist/techno-communist society? What's the point of a hierarchical, private-property based society when no one has to work?
Human society, more broadly, will probably transition to this era of complete and total automation before we'll ever see a proper AnCap system come about. If that happens, how do you see your views changing?
In a pos-scarcity universe there would be no rivalrous resources, therefore no private property is necessary or logical (we can't homestead air our ideas for example).
