Once you've re-run history, you'll discover trade.

  You haven't put as much thought into this as you seem to think you have; you are still retracing the first 5% of my thought process on this topic. The point isn't to eliminate trade, markets, capitalism, or even jobs. Just the opposite, I would imagine. The point is that a hypothetical "extremistan" future in which most people struggle to eek out a living presents a business opportunity which has historically failed to take off due to the limits of manufacturing technology. If someone can make this business opportunity work, it will act as a relief valve to alleviate extreme poverty.
