If you think the transition from capitalism to RBE is something that "some" folks can resist, you're not fully appreciating the future we're all about to be facing in the next 3 decades. Yes, NOW, when we have jobs and food and decent lives, most don't even want to discuss the possibility.
But after another 10-20 years of increased automation, combined with massive droughts, rampant unemployment (25%, then 30, 40, 50, etc), which will cause homelessness to rise exponentially, and globally we will see food wars. You'll see mass cannibalism in 3rd world countries. For those not "in power", your survival means either working long shifts at The Corporation in exchange for a small cot in a dorm and 12 ounces of worm-based nutrient paste per day, or enlisting in the military which executes the angry starving mobs in the streets by the thousands.
As this worsens every year, more and more of the "rich" will say "this must end, we need a better way", and as they defect towards RBE (the only viable alternative), those at the top will either eventually capitulate or be eaten.
If you are thinking "Gee, I sure would like to avoid that whole scenario", then welcome to the RBE club. If you are still defending the capitalist system that has destroyed millions of lives and is on track to wreck the planet, then I guess we'll save you a spot here. You can join us after you get tired of eating worm paste. Or after your family is slaughtered by Corporate Soldiers in the streets. Or before that. Your call.
