I think we overestimate the imagination of these "powers that be". I don't think they believe a post-labor society is possible. They think exploitation is a necessary and natural way for society to function. Imagination is on our sides, politics can't be more imaginative than the population that elects them.
I really think we have a crisis of imagination there.
Make it seem possible, make it desirable and most people will claim they have always wanted it. Problem is, most people don't perceive it as possible today, while it is. That's not an engineering, that's PR!
