What on earth do free people in a free country need "taken care of" by anyone? What if AI takes the place of ALL labor? Free people will find things to do with their time that free people WANT to do. They don't need an oligarch to care for them. They will care for themselves through individual associations or personal industry and thrift.
Also, does no one here understand the basics of supply and demand? Where will the factory output be sold if there is no one gainfully employed? So, there will still be an economy with goods and trade regardless of AI.
Rather than try to induce oligarchs to be "caretakers of the plebs" how about inducing them to patriotism in their own countries? This was touched on in the discussion about the wealthy that served in WWI. Develop the concept.
This was a fantastic conversation.
Thank you!

Are you asking why tribunes are needed? The history of the Roman Republic answers that…and is why this is called “The American Tribune”
AI will not replace all labor/jobs/etc
