If nobody can buy your land or trade your capital, what do you really have? We need the value produced by labor for there to be a market for anything else.

If you are a citizen and of age, you have your voting rights.

the labour being replaced by autonomous robots driven by an AI means that the output is cheap, and plentiful.

But this requires initial capital to get going, and that capital (and land) is what gets traded. At some point, when capital is no longer required, then it would become worthless, but by then i think humanity would've reached star trek level of post-scarcity (or killed themselves with a war).
