The worst case outcome of letting things continue along their current path is quite simply the end of the human race.
The system is forcing 100's of millions of people to choose between utter misery or soul crushing servitude to capitalists and managers whose philosophy of labor differs little from the slave holders of the pre-civil war south.
And that's how things are now. What will happen when 100's of millions more lose what little value to the system they currently have due to automation and robotics ?
Given the pace of technological advance sooner or later (I would guess within the next 100 years) one of these unhappy people will figure out how to synthesize a species ending bioweapon. I've heard the secret service is already taking measures to protect the president's DNA due to fear of a targeted bioweapon being developed. But an untargeted bioweapon would likely be easier to develop and it's effects far more frightening.
In short, such talk is regularly used throughout history to fool idealists into supporting a "just cause" that ends up leading only to more misery.
The problem you mention is real, but unless you have at the very least a practical solution to suggest, and perhaps a path from here to there that has any kind of likelihood to it, it is just fodder for people who would use you to gain more power for themselves. Be wary of how your honest, true beliefs and desire for justice are manipulated by others who just want the regular old kind of power.
