We produce more than enough food for everyone.The technology to create a functioning efficient planned economy already exists, anyone who's ever scanned a barcode has used it.  It's not a problem of resources, it's a problem of distribution of resources. It's a human societal and economic problem, not a technological one.

On that note, early tribal societies prior to the invention of agriculture and stored grain were quite adept at equitable distribution of resources. Some people have called this primitive communism, and whether or not the term is accurate it still shows that human society is capable of distributing resources efficiently and minimizing the power of hierarchy even in those groups with a chief figurehead. The problem now is how to reconcile that with the ideology, culture, and economics of capitalism or to overcome capitalism and progress to a more humane form of distribution of resources.

Kilroy posted:It shows that human tribes are capable of it, not human societies.  Are you trying to imply tribal groups are somehow not societies? They are not civilizations in the way that humans that planted roots with agriculture and expanded in population were, I'll give you that; but I'm genuinely curious as to what you think human society is defined as.
