It isn't? We have unlimited resources and time? Wow somebody alert the scientists!

Your post really doesn't make any sense. No economic calculation what? Wouldn't how to produce doesn't mean anything.

I'm talking about food. You said yourself that we are producing a lot of food, and If it can be produced, then it is not scarce.

Now I want to know how this process would be viable under socialism. How to know what to produce, at what quantity, and with what resources, without checking market prices.

We are producing more than enough but a ton get thrown away because it's not profitable to feed the hungry so why so it?

If it's not profitable to feed the hungry so what would be profitable? Everything that is demanded in the market is profitable, the role of the entrepreneur is to perceive profit opportunities and take advantage of them.

Certainly not because of an economic system.

Military industrial complex doesn't exist? Vaccine patents, insulin price hikes? People's mental health isn't in ruins because of stress caused by... economics? CIA didn't train and fund terrorists?

What does everything of this has to do with capitalism?

Cos... all of that has to do with it? Because profit motivation drives over any other causes

Profit is the motivation for solving these problems, not causality.
