Capitalism, Socialism and Communism were all reactions to scarcity. Weather it was mandatory cooperation or mandatory competition the system was coercive, based on mandatory work, and under the influence of scarcity.
Now we can go beyond scarcity and here is how.
Energy: Geothermal = 4000 + years of energy. Completely unlimited if we use other energy sources so we can renew it at the right rate.
Solar can provide nearly all our energy if we could just capture a small amount of the sunlight that hits the planet. Wind also has potential to take care of all our energy when used right but let’s underestimate it 30% just because with geothermal alone I already proved my point.
Wave and tidal can be an additional 30% of our energy uses and we can do this with a fraction of the war money. When something is abundant, it loses its value. Oil is Non-Renewable which makes it as expensive as it is. This energy would be free, in the same way air is free.
Scarcity = Profit - Abundance = Free. Now with this energy we can power hydroponics for no cost. Hydroponic skyscrapers throughout the globe can feed everyone for free.
Next step is water: Grey water restoration, water desalinization, and rain collection/purification systems. With energy abundance, we would have unlimited water.
Housing: Hemp + lime = Hemp-Crete (stronger than concrete, lighter than concrete, renewable resources = unlimited). So that’s unlimited necessities. Any system that does not have unlimited necessities will be based on mandatory work.
Wage slavery does not allow people to do what they what but instead of what they have to do. Even in an anarchist-capitalism system, people still have to work for money to survive on some level.
In regards to government: Government is obsolete. I know I can rule myself. Self rule + post Scarcity = Freedom. Any statist scarcity based ideology, weather socialist or capitalist has Zero revolutionary potential.
Sure can
I know I can rule myself, how about you?

Bravo...
Yes I have and will say all human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of the two emotions - Fear or Love. So we all must ask ourselves, do we fear this new RBE system or love it?
i think fear vs greed is more like it
love can live independently of either
I see your point
Have you looked into an RBE society? it fits very well within this paradigm.
Enjoy everything - Need nothing
“Awareness” is the experience of consciousness being awakened.
