He also didn't predict a class of people born with no labor to sell because so much of it has been automated away. How are they supposed to use their labor as a bargaining chip if they can't find labor to do to begin with?

Actually I think that's kind of exactly what he predicted. Technological determinism would inevitably manifest the violent downfall of capitalism.

Marx wasn't a technological determinist though. He believed that a workers revolution would bring the end of capitalism. He even thought it would happen druing his lifetime.
