Other companies. We like to think that companies need end consumers to have at least some money to buy their stuff but that’s not true. Theoretically, an economy could self-sustain entirely with businesses and no end consumers.
A company/organization that steals doesn’t even have to sell anything. Colonialism, protection money, taxation. Just turn resources into weapons and use weapons to get more resources.
At that point, the ones who own the machines will just have them make stuff for themselves.
That’s where the state and its law enforcement comes to use their monopoly on violence to ensure you stay in line and work like a good little wage slave. Even if you don’t, that’s when they put you behind bars and force you into literal slave labor because they criminalized poverty.
They’ll just make up more bullshit jobs, like they’ve already done before. Anything but letting the workers have a bit of the productivity gains.
