It is. Historically change in wealth distribution never came from technological progress alone. It was always a social movement were people fought and gave their lives for the liberties and relative equality they have.

We're not going to get a post scarcity distributed economy out of itself. Lots of people are going to die to fight for that right which is going to take decades and the transition is going to be extremely bloody.

You are probably right. The scope of this project is only to look at the tech side. It will not be the end of story, as political change is needed. But once the tech evidence is there and clearly mapped by an open source project, it will be easier to motivate people to make further steps.
