I totally agree with you that we already *have* cheap and fast
production capabilities. Capitalism did us that favor, indeed.


That is the missing link.


So where is the missing link exactly? I can't see it. In the contrary
I see a fundamental development of automation triggered by capitalism
and continued in Free Modes.


The missing link is the fact that capitalism has no concept of resource
frugality and reproduction.

The planet is plundered and destroyed, resources are declining and many
things are cheap just because of the abuse of people and planet.

I do not advocate that this leads to ideas of scarcity. But one must be
pretty blind to overlook the effects of todays economy. Automation is no
answer in itself, automation must work with increased reproduceability.
Capitalist reproceability is limited to mass copying and exploitation, the
reproduceablity of Global Villages is physical regeneration of resources.
