How were any of these produced without a profit motive, maybe except fire? In fact the acquisition of these things and the use of these things all became object of wars, hardly a utopian ideal.

There has always been human nature. The plea that a type of government can curtail that is laughable.

The acquisition of anything can be used for violence. If I make a corncob doll for my child, another child can pick it up and hit another child with it.

I didn't make it with a profit motive, nor for the purpose of creating a weapon.

A corncob doll is not huge technology we (may) take for granted.

But your take on human nature in a utopian society is correct
