Fully Automated Luxury Communism

Fully Automated Luxury Communism depends on a few critical technologies and policies:

• ubiquitous connectivity - Everyone needs continuous access to an unrestricted internet
• Automated supply chain - The production of goods is handled entirely by machines. Robotic mining equipment loads autonomous trucks that drive to robotic refineries, which load autonomous trucks to robotic factories, which ship finished goods to consumers via, you guessed it, autonomous trucks.
• Custom just-in-time manufacturing - Technologies like 3d printers, CNC machines, 3d weavers, and robotic manipulators with dexterity far exceeding human levels; they enable highly customizable products, despite not using human labor. Imagine every article of clothing you buy is custom tailored to your body, and can be designed, manufactured, and delivered in less than 24 hours.
• Excellent recycling - Materials which cannot be sustainably produced (metals, gems, etc) need to be highly recyclable, so that people can get rid of things they no longer want in favor of new things they do want.
• Enough electricity - This autonomous supply chain uses a lot of electricity, as does our comfy inside life style. The production of electricity needs to be sustainable in the long term, and predictable in the short term.
• Collective ownership of the means of production - A fully automated supply chain that is owned by a couple billionairs just leaves the masses broke and out of work. A fully automated supply chain that is owned by the masses means a high standard of living, and more time for leisure.

Given these things, you can imagine a system such that:

• People submit what they want (laptop, comforter, refridgerator) via natural language request
• Machine intelligence processes the requests to categorize and queue them for fulfillment
• manufacturing and distribution capacity is planned and adjusted based on this data, in combination with data about raw resource availability, etc.
• Your requests are queued and fulfilled first-in first-out, with algorithms constantly trying to minimize the time between request and fulfillment, while maximizing outcome satisfaction
• Maybe an urgency points system that allows you to skip the line on a limited number of items per solar

It ultimately works very similarly to a market economy in terms of using demand to dynamically plan supply. However, rather than optimizing for capturable surplus (profit), it optimizes for resource efficiency and positive customer outcomes.
Products which fulfil base survival needs (food, housing, medicine) are prioritized above want-fulfillment in capacity planning, but even these survival needs can be provided via a similar mechanism. Here's an example with housing:

• People submit requests for housing, using things like pinterest boards and sketches and natural language to express preferences.
• Algorithms see a diversity of wants, and therefore invest in manufacturing capacity that is capable of high levels of customization.
• Using robotic manufacturing techniques and modular pre-fabrication, you could produce quality, fully custom housing to ship and quickly assemble on-site, with very little lead time.
• 3d printed buildings, and robotically assembled block-based construction systems, would allow rapid deployment of high quality, site-specific buildings
• You can keep a large stock of tiny homes as flex capacity, deliverable anywhere in less than 24 hours via autonomous trucks
• You can likely get immediate access to pre-existing housing, as supply already far outstrips population. The wealthy would no longer own hundreds of houses, and instead everybody would own one.

Note, this automated economic system does not rely on money, or money-equivalents. It simply attempts to fulfill material preferences in an unbiased way, seeking always to optimize efficient use of resources, and self-reported customer happiness, while assigning priority to needs over wants. This is a system inspired by Peter Singer's "Preference Utilitarianism", and offers a species-agnostic moneyless framework for resource allocation.
