Meh. Rising tide lifts all boats. He is saying universal high income in contrast to universal basic income. I don't think he means income.

In the same way that the poorest people in america today have a higher standard of living than the kings of 1000years ago, he's saying that principle applies on the future. Probably in the future, poor people will have robots bc the rich will buy robots, they will break or become obsolete, and those less rich than them will figure out how to repair them or upgrade them or even just aquire them at a steep enough discount to hire them out for a discount to make their lives better. You can imagine a poor person who figured out how to get 5 broken down robots for the price of 1, strip them for parts to build 2 and then they are making money.

Thata not communism.
