The idea you're suggesting here is 19th century era Marxism, and isn't based on historical or economic realities. There has never been a famine caused by new technologies creating unemployment, and food security is much higher now than at any other time in the past.

"Food security is much higher now than at any other time in the past", huh?

18 million households in the U.S. were food insecure in 2024.

And that's from 2024. How much was oil then?
