Interesting topic ~ Kudos

I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy and this has been explored in those genres fairly well.
I could cite any number of examples but, I'll give my personal views instead.

Sad to say, it would need to start with some serious housecleaning.
Basically, wipe civilization and the people off the planet.
Now, before you start calling me a monster, consider if we ever advance far enough to settle a new planet from a colony ship where the original generation has long past and the settlers are embryo raised at the location by programmed health bots that is basically what happens.

You now have a pristine world and a pristine population.

The first thing that would be changed is the concept of ownership.
Without ownership, greed has no roots. It doesn't take hold and there is no power struggles.

A sense of Unity would be instituted. Not just unity of each other but unity with nature.

There would be no marriages or families. The entire community would raise the children and people would mate as they wish.
Since all will respect each other as persons, there would be no forced rapes or abuse. The power struggle will have been eradicated.

As generations live and die the population will grow. Local resources will be used up. The populace could roam as a unit or split and form groups.

This scenario seems alien because we have problems visualizing a world without greed and power struggles. That's why it wouldn't work on this planet with this population.

Only by never experiencing ownership can greed be eradicated.
Only by never experiencing power struggles can manipulation be eradicated.

There is a potential for stagnation in this utopian scenario.
Without greed or power there will be a decrease in the propensity for innovation. Some of the greatest works of art are also greed/power motivated.

However, one influences the other.

Stores have clerks that protect against theft.
With no greed, there is no need to invent locks, no need for security measures and no person would be individually responsible.
Community stores would be open to all. No accounting, no inventory, no pressure put to bear to maintain.
You might say, that wouldn't work, you would run out of things and not have them when you need them.
I don't believe that is true. The unity of the community would prevent it. Without greed, no person would need to hog anything.
A lack of something would trigger a community effort to gather more, for everyone.

With no power base, there would be no need for religions. Everyone would always be free to believe what they want and there would be no struggle to make someone believe as you do.

But...
No matter what methods are in place that work or don't work, it can't happen on this planet, at this time, with these people. We are already conditioned to greed and power. Our entire civilization is set up based on greed and power. It is nearly impossible to imagine a civilization that exists in total harmony.

This is what gets me about people's ideas of aliens. We assign our fundamental greed and power to aliens. We think it is a natural state of being in the Universe because it is all we have ever experienced, all we ever known.
What we tend to forget is that on this very planet right now, there are creatures that exist without the baseline greed and power struggles we experience.
This fact tells me it is not a fundamental fact of life but merely a creation of the human experience. An alien species might have motivations more in common with the natural animals of this planet than with humans.

I'm not saying to return to savages. I'm saying, create a new motivation of unity.
A wolf will demonstrate power and greed as a natural (savage) motivation. We tamed that natural savagery out of the wolf and other animals by domestication. Those animals were not able to tame themselves, Humans have that capacity for self-domestication.
It would be something we do ... On Purpose.

Get the lot of them a gift voucher and be done with it, finish
