This would assume the rich some how oppresses everyone to pieces. If I have access to all this wonderful automation tech, I'm sure as fuck not going to sit around and starve, I'm going to try automate my food production to make more food, more efficiently ?

But "you" don't, that is precisely the point. The speed at which the gap between rich and poor grows keeps increasing, after all -- the rest is commentary --, and people who right now send people to die and murder in wars for oil, and what not not, will not suddenly start sharing when they fully captured all means of production for good. That's like hoping the person who keeps stealing your shit every chance he has, leaving you in sickness or death without a thought will give you a billion dollars once all the locks on your house have rusted off completely and you no longer have means to call the police.
