There is an optimistic outcome you are missing. Here is an analogy. Do you pay for the air that you breath? No. It is free, because air is so abundant, so avaliable, that nobody would possibly charge for it. Imagine if the qualities that apply to air, apply to other things. As they are already doing so. There are tons of free software, for example. Now, imagine that food and housing became so abundant, so available for anyone to take as much as they want, that nobody would even think to charge for it. Such a society is still capitalist. It is just full of abundance.
