Imagine

Imagine if all work in the world was carried out by machines. The machines made other machines and other machines serviced and operated where necessary all machines. No Human being ever did anything which not could be considered leisure.

I will define a machine as something that only does work and has no conscious needs or wants of its own. A purely inanimate object.

How much would the product of the machines "labour" cost?

The answer must surely be nothing! You are not paying anybody for their labour time. No compensation is needed! The machines are machines. They do not care if they have money in the bank or not. If they did what would they do with it?

Assuming an entrepreneur or businessman or shareholders owned these machines then how do they make any money? They can't!! Money would not exist. Nobody is getting compensated for the time spent toiling away in a factory/office. Nobody gets paid and so nobody can spend money they haven't got. There is no value added to a product by humans and so nothing for the business owners to cream off from the hourly rate(as explained in the means of production post).

Great!

This seems like a good idea.

Problem. Some people always want more than others. Its more than just the material wealth. It's the status and power, they need it for some reason.

Therefore in my alternate reality the "Wealthy" people would be those that controlled the machines and the "working class" not with money but with guns.

Maybe capitalism isn't so bad?

Bonus points if you can name that game.
