Looking into it again, you are right. I am not a big trekkie. I just always thought it was a good example of a moneyless stateless society, but the post scarcity definitely changes things. Thanks for the correction.

I guess we are on the brink of reaching post scarcity, and we kind of already have with our basic needs, just not our luxuries.

I don't know if communism or socialism is the actual answer at all, btw. I'm just not scared of it and willing to see what good ideas might be in there even if it is a flawed system. I hate the authoritarianism that always seems to inevitably come with it. I just think we probably have outgrown capitalism a bit.
