“work as much as you can, use as much as you need.”
You don’t need technological advancement to be sustainable if your population remains relatively small and static. Hunter Gatherers actually follow pretty much exactly the formula you described above and ended up with far more leisure time than their agriculturally “advanced” counterparts.
But that is not sustainable. We cannot all be Hunter Gatherers. Society in the broadest sense should be applicable to almost the entire human population, one state is not enough. For this purpose, technological progress is crucial. Communism is not an ideology or a political system in the context of today’s political systems. It is an inevitable evolution (not a revolution) in human progress.
