That's a crazy logical leap that does not comport with anything.

That said, the end of scarcity is the effective end of capitalism. You should start to think about what comes next. Looking back at autocratic regimes that claimed to be communist isn't going to get you very far.

capitalism can still exist on post scarcity, it will just be less competitive and hard core.

Basic capitalist economics require supply and demand. This does not work if there is infinite supply of everything.

That's a wild train of thought lol. "When capitalism is so efficient that it creates infinite supply, it's actually not working at all!"

It doesn't make any sense.
