I mentioned the near future, not "as humanity evolves". Or do you expect that human nature will change in a large way in just a few years? In any case if people cared somewhat less about personal possessions that would hardly be enough to make communism work. The subjective value of personal possessions is not the only issue that keeps communism from working. I think they will become more commoditized. I think quite the opposite is happening. We have a higher diversity of goods, instead of having nearly identical commodities, stamped out in great number for each person. And even with commodities, no central planning group is likely to have or be able to have the distributed knowledge embedded in price signals.
