Sure, but you could never escape the work that was needed, no matter what you did. Not saying it’s a worse setup than capitalism, just that the escape part is novel and simply wasn’t an option in other setups.
ETA: often this work is volunteerism, which does not have a capital incentive in the individual case here.
No one wants to work in the style of American capitalism, so this is one thing that people stop doing, for sure. In prior systems, no matter what you did, you always had to keep doing things you didn’t want to do (assuming one isn’t in love with perpetual farm labor).
If we are talking about Garden of Eden levels of natural abundance hunter gathering, then that is surely peak human lifestyle, but I don’t know of any scalable system that remotely compares to that.
