I stand corrected. I guess some people do think we're there.
Personally, I don't think we're close yet, but I agree that there could exist a better system where we'd at least be closer.
I'm pretty sure most of this is is loosely from "Half earth socialism", which might not consider us already in post scarcity, but is at least sympathetic to the position while trying to approach the arguably more important factors,- climate change and biodiversity decline- through such a lens.
Examining how our lives could be lived, in accordance with the natural world systems, with a socialist organization of the world economy.
It's pretty readable as far as these books go, I think it might even be the first explicitly socialist book I read /listened to.
