> The more jobs that get replaced by automation the more prices will fall.

I am not as concerned with cheapening junk food as you are. I want to satisfy human needs through tasks like feeding the poor, healing the sick, sheltering the homeless, and educating the illiterate that aren't getting done today because they aren't profitable enough.

The ruling class owns the means of production and the robots that are replacing people's jobs are using these productive forces entirely for their own benefit. In a system whereby the means of production are owned by the poor and working classes, workers can scientifically manage production to satisfy human needs rather then personal profit.
