We do currently produce enough for everyone’s basic needs, yes. But “all we need to do is redistribute” isn’t it: when the state steps in and massively redistributes you screw up incentives and decrease production. We haven’t yet figured out how to meet everyone’s basic needs without disrupting the system that gives us the economic productivity that would make this possible.

I very much agree with this statement.
