[iluvlawyering]

Absolutely nothing as drastic as replacing all human labor can happen in a single digit number of years. Governments can be overthrown, continents can be conquered, but peaceful transition from the labor value of exchange to any other model of distributing societal production under prevailing conditions will take at least an entire generation of human beings (10-20 years at the minimum but most likely the entire adult life of a generation so about 40-50 years).

The commandeering of surplus is not the issue, the issue is the generation of surplus in the first place given that capital holders are beholden to general consumption as a matter of brute economic fact, which is an inherent contradiction of the capitalist structure. Namely, that asset values, including even money itself, are entirely dependant on the relative value of human labor. All profit is value taken by one person from another, but the capitalist requires the "enterprise" itself to exist in order to have a profit to take from anyone (whether another capitalist or a laborer, depending on the relative monopoly power, which translates to expropriation through both the market for goods/services and for labor itself).
