If all basic needs were met (food, shelter, and medical), could socialism work (without the need for wars or famine to reduce the population)?

The only people that want to create issue around how many children you have are those that will eventually exploit your children. The number one polluter is the military industrial complex and our whole society revolves around killing people. Everything is a monopoly. So, I think we can't even really address that question without seeing what the world would be like if we could... I don't know. Tax the rich. So we can have the leverage to push back against our masters, or we could just use kinetic means, but either way. I don't know. Naval gazing is not really going to... or is even fruitful when we have to deal with the class war, because there is no war but the class war.
