I can't vote for the poll, because it doesn't include the choice, "Minanarchy where the unemployed have to retrain or live in poverty". Of course, we will need to be charitable and provide food via private charities.
I can admit there will be few enclosed communities for elite and engineers with meritocracy and minimum govt, but NEVER in large countries. When most people will start understanding what is happening, social unrest, revolutions and civil wars will fire around the world very quickly. The elite will try to save their asses by escaping into highly secured areas, while "have nots" will confiscate all means of production and switch to planned economy with redistribution of the wealth by public authority (or, in some traditionalist societies, neo-luddites may destroy all automation and downshift to simpler lifestyle).

You socialists go on with your myopia. History shows where you ALWAYS end up.
Now the history may turn around and show the ass to the insane right-wingers! Extreme radicals (both left and right) cannot keep power during the long time as history shows!
