I mean, most socialism (but especially Anarcho socialism as proposed by Kropotkin) starts with a foundation of people's right to life. We produce enough to give everyone in the US a comfortable existence.

Do you have any reference that specifically discusses the transitionary period into post scarcity? I'm extremely disinterested in violent revolutions and tearing something down and putting it back up with a theoretical system. I want to see a system that still pushes us quickly towards post scarcity, and that's something I haven't seen that isn't also extremely vulnerable to authoritarian takeovers.
