A post-scarce society isn't more likely to be peaceful, it isn't more likely to be anything to do with morals. Having more stuff doesn't mean you have better or worse morals. There are always different reactions and this should be treated the same way. Some might go to war with them, yes, but it's only one possibility of many.

Population can increase, and I never said it couldn't, but it isn't neccessary. If the resources are unlimited, which in a small scale model of a society which is post-scarce resources may as well be, then population probably should increase and why not? Obviously this is different for bigger models of society where the resources aren't being gained enough for the population, but that's not post-scarce and we are talking about post-scarce things.

Of course government and economy and everything are linked, I never meant to say otherwise, I just meant that different styles of economy can be matched to different styles of government.

I'm not sure if I'm reading the next bit badly, but what I got from the sentence was that the government are giving out protection and laws for the good of the people and the people are angry because of that. That doesn't make much sense to me. As I said before, having an abundance of resources does not allow you to murder people, steal or rape. The crimes are not linked to the abundance of items (well, maybe stealing in low conditions) and would largely remain similar. I don't get why there would be a resentment there or what they are limiting apart from more serious crimes.

I do not believe this type of economy is flat-out-impossible. I don't think it's within reach to us either though. And as it still remains largely debated on how the universe works, especially when talking about cultures, I simply will dismiss your last point as it seems more or less irrelevant unless talking about things such as physics and chemistry, rather than a theoretical model of society within the universe. (which isn't neccessarily human or with human thinking)

PS: Once again, sorry if it is disjointed, my mind is all over the place with ideas on this.
