Sounds like fuel for a revolution. I know some governments will go to war with their own people, but all of them?

There will be some countries that go the way you've described and crush any discontent with force. But some will try to navigate an outcome that socializes the benefits of automation.

you're assuming the transition would be abrupt enough to trigger a revolution. most likely that wouldn't be the case - if ruling class plays their cards right, they'll boil the frog, and all revolutionary potential will be defused.
