If wealth becomes too captured at the top, the working class become unable to be profitably exploited - squeezing blood from a stone.

When that happens, the ultra wealthy dynasties begin turning on each other. Happens frequently throughout history - WWI the last example.

Your options become choosing a trillionaire to swear fealty to and fight in their wars hoping your side wins, or I guess trying to walk away and scrape out a living somewhere not worth paying attention to.

Or, I suppose, revolution, but the last one with persistent success was led by Mao and required throwing literally millions of peasants against walls of rifles. Not sure it'd work against drones.
