Never fear, there's enough to go around, we'll each get a fragment of luxury yacht in our dinner bowls, seasoned with Rolex springs.
Maybe I'm being simplistic, but isn't the point that humanity's technological and organizational capacity to feed, clothe, house and care for each other is now much greater than capitalist organization of production can provide? And that the stifling of production over much of the world is the hallmark of capitalism now? Or, as Wadi'h Halabi put it at the recent URPE conference, 'capitalism is wasting 95% of humanity's time.'
