This is about as boring as my conversation with AP about natural unemployment. 

I don't know, that argument was about semantics, this argument is about quite a lot more.

I think it's pretty obvious that we're in the midst of a social and economic revolution and if we're not careful we'll end up in an Ayn Rand style dystopia. Within our lifetimes we will see huge swathes of unemployment and the crumbling of centralised government, hopefully for something completely foreign but massively democratic. We're already seeing the start of it with decentralised currencies like bitcoin. 

The other thing is that while we have huge inequalities we actually have a surplus of food for the first time, so the issue isn't wealth it's distribution.

Personally I think that as we're seeing with money we will end up with government being decentralised. I could see it being completely autonomous and run based on dozens of refferendums being held every year.
