Marx said: "The barrier of capitalist production is capital itself." Automated production lowers the value (and price) of commodity, increases its surplus value, unemployment, over-production and shortage of investment outlet. Capital can no longer handle such a high-level anarchist production and jobless system. It will eventually have to call its antithesis for rescue. If not, the end of its life is near. -Mark
