I mean, capitalists seem like they would be happy to just have slaves and all the nice things for themselves.

They’re already at a point where its basically slavery with extra steps or my go to. How close can we get to slavery without taking everyone’s free will.

Capitalists at that level transform into dictatorial oligarchs. Musk, Bezos, Zuck, Murdoch, and whatever other foreign and domestic counterparts they have…all similar.
