Eventually, when we reach the stage where low end human labor is worthless, we'll need some flavor of socialism. Such socialism will be so cheap that no one will care, however.
We aren't there yet, however. We are also not at the point where most people's work is devoid of merit. We are merely at the point where many people lost their old jobs and are unwilling to take new jobs in other sectors.
For example, consider an unemployed construction worker. There is plenty of work waiting for him - cleaning houses, picking strawberries, etc. But he remains unemployed because he is unwilling to take other work.
