If jobs are disappearing ...
If machines will do a lot of our work ...
If we will have "stuff" without actually contributing a whole lot of labor ...
... then government control becomes quite unnecessary.
People worry about the word "anarchy" -- but the real idea is a return to LIMITED government. They won't need to "take care of you" because we will live in a post-scarcity world. That's a world in which the jobs went away, but the "stuff" still gets produced.
Whether or not this is desirable is beside the point. It's coming.

“... then government control becomes quite unnecessary.”
We will still need government to protect us from other people, and other governments.
Human nature will still present threats, so computers will be used to monitor and profile, and analyze each of us - completely.
But who will watch the watchers?

Why would stuff be produced if most people do not have the income to purchase it?
