> Cuba is a place with little natural resources and that suffers with a criminal economical blockade. Right, real scarcity. You can't just wish post-scarcity into being. The USSR also made the same pledge under much the same conditions, all while being in control of most of the world's natural resources. But, still, scarcity prevailed. > capitalism will not allocate the resources in a way that maximizes human benefit Where humans are deemed beneficial then capitalism will allocate towards maximizing human benefit. Where humans are not deemed beneficial, you cannot system yourself out of that. Capitalism itself has no thoughts or feelings towards humans, only humans do. And, indeed, you are quite right that humans by and large hate other humans and will do all kinds of things to "keep them down". The legal system goes to great lengths to ensure that humans cannot be come beneficial. That’s not capitalism, though.
