I prefer to call this 'Star Trek socialism' and while I support it I think we are kidding ourselves if capitalists will go out peacefully.
Even if creation of a device or food is nearly 0 cost in the future they will stop this through IP law.
And the mention of non-profits is out of place. Hell, the NFL is non-profit.
I think the real issue with advancing technology isn't that products and services will be available for nearly nothing but that doing so destroys jobs. As variable capital (labor) is continually replaced by constant capital (means of production) labor battles will have to intensify.
Capitalism must end but it won't come from what this article talks about but workers organizing to create an efficient democratic economy.
