That manpower isn't going to just become part of the masses though. Ideals and beliefs still block everybody from uniting in that way. Don't get me wrong, they can bring people together and make everything better and what-not, but if those ideals are something like pacifism and warmongering then there will be a bridge between them. Population might grow at a greater rate, but as resources do that can be levelled out. There is no problem there. Nevermind that they might not be an expansive society.

I disagree with humans having any mindset built-in to them. That's just a thing I can't agree with. Our society has obviously moved to a capitalist mindset but it isn't impossible for society to move towards other ideals and beliefs that would work better with post-scarcity.

I do agree that capitalism isn't possible with post-scarcity though, as the definition is against it:  "Capitalism/noun #1.an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state."

Though other models could work. Such as communism, which seems to me as perfect for a post-scarce society as everybody would get everything equally shared between them, so everybody can have everything since the "everything" is limitless. Though I think other societies would work.
