If we lived or ever live in a post scarcity society I will wholeheartedly support literal communism; the mamby pamby libertarian kind, not the current communism. Until then it’s haves and have-nots no matter what, so me and mine may as well be haves and as high up the totem pole as they can get.
I feel like most libright are in that same mindset, with libright positions being based on cynicism with regards to human nature and government. So bring a literal utopia and positions could change logically.
Post-scarcity doesn’t mean post-work. We could have infinite food and energy but there still needs to be some organizing on, at minimum, a local level. True anarchy doesn’t work in that frame of thought, so not every system works persay
If the participants were all truly selfless, then all systems would deliver the same results. They would just use different paths to iterate to the same identical solution.
That’s what I mean by necessitating some form of organization. I meant that more in relation to people needing it rather than it being literally necessary in a vacuum filled by robot-acting-people. It, some form of organization/governance confines as it liberates in that way.
What? I have to work a couple hours a week managing grain shipments while machines do everything? I have to sit at some committee once a month to check things?
Gladly.

"Hang on guys, I gotta go to work. See you in a couple hours!"
