Production  system reflects the fact that economics goods are scarce

We have not enough petroleoum, iron, etc. to increase production over
certain levels

Scarcity is not a design defect, only in intelectual goods limited by
the means of copyright.

Its a fact of a material world, you will make Green Party, very angry

Off course we have a very unequal distribution system, that was
correctly described and explained by Marx.

And we can reduce a lot of poverty  if we can change that distribution
system, but we cannot have a production system without limits.

perhaps what you are trying to call scarcity is normally called
poverty, or unequal distribution.

what you call limits is usually called scarcity
what you call scarcity is usually called unequal distribution or poverty
