I think that people need to look at the world around them.
Right now, there are tons of goods that are effectively post scarcity.
The amount of free information and entertainment (available online) is insanely higher than anything that existed even 20 years ago.
The post scarcity Utopia is being created right now, by capitalism.
Post scarcity is something that applies on a per good basis. For example nobody has ever had to pay for the air that they breath, because air isnt a scarce good. And post scarcity is being quickly applied to more and more goods.
