Or Capitalism just sucks at handling post-scarcity. It caused a bunch of countries to collapse in the early 20th century the US only managed to keep communism away by adopting some socialism (aka the New Deal). We're in the same boat today. Goods are cheaper than ever, but with machines doing most of the work there's little need for serfs.
