"post scarcity" isn't a Marxist idea, it gets floated around by people who are into pseudo-intellectual fields like futurology. "scarcity" takes on different historical forms under different historical social formations, what "scarcity" means outside of the context of capitalism or slave societies only the future really knows
idk wtf you mean by "super abundance" but if you are getting at the idea that there's infinite natural resources then that gets floated by those that have no understanding of physical sciences or those who profit from spreading that notion
>you are now aware that US in in post-scarcity/super abundant food/entertainment era already
>You are now aware that more people are obese than are starving
>You are now aware of the infinite replication of the digital
Not even a marxist, but OP is a bit of a tard.

As far as I could ever make out post-scarcity is how certain Austrian-esque economists view the end of economics, since economics and markets and shit have to happen if resources are scarce in that view.

How does communism work without post-scarcity?

Does communism come into existence tomorrow or in 200 years when we have fusion reactors? Anyone who tells you their normative vision of how a communist society should function is engaging in utopian scheming. Scarcity and depleting resources is a real issue currently unfolding.

>conflating abundance of a few commodities with a post-scarcity era
>neglecting the fact that the conditions required for quasi-post-scarcity conditions can only exist in a system from which supply-side and certain incentives are emphasized
>>8721069
I am genuinely interested in how the digitization of inforamation is not a form of "true" post-scarcity.
Granted, cars and homes and raw-materials based commodities are not going post-scarcity anytime soon, but the free, infinitely available copies of retards graduating, for example, is something that really is not scarce.

Where do people get this from about Marx? He said that human nature is flexible and derives from the economic conditions of the time, nothing about good or bad or selfish or unselfish.
