Socialism is a historical movement, bound and determined by the prevailing objective conditions at the end of capitalism - "not the will, but the economic conditions" determine this. Marx describes these conditions most succinctly in 1845's The German Ideology, Chapter 3:

The notion that "you will own nothing and be happy" has a direct antecedent in Marx, who anticipates this as the final world structure before global Communist revolution. This immiseratory process has a primary economic component Marx describes in a Letter to Friedrich Engels of 1868:
The rationale for the reset is simple: offset the climate crisis onto the shoulders of the proletariat, thereby justifying their immiseration (which would occur anyway - it is the nature of capitalism to strip property from the proletariat) whilst leaving the bourgeoisie unscathed.
This process will be presided over, ironically, by the bourgeois Left, whom Marx constantly scathed for justifying the perpetual existence of capitalism through their rhetoric. The conservatives fear of "eat bug, live in pod" are wholly justified, but his solutions will be ineffective - the struggle against it will by necessity have to be converted into a global struggle of the proletariat.
This struggle almost certainly begins on petit-bourgeois/nationalist lines - witness the French Yellow Vest Movement, January 6th, etc. On Twitter, on Facebook, etc. is is only the Right, representatives of the smaller petit-bourgeois and the bigger labor aristocracy, who are taking this seriously. They will almost certainly begin the armed resistance to this - and be crushed. But like coal converting into a diamond under pressure, their struggle will by necessity shift into an openly internationalist one.
Quote:For it (i.e. capitalist alienation) to become an “intolerable” power, i.e. a power against which men make a revolution, it must necessarily have rendered the great mass of humanity “propertyless,” and produced, at the same time, the contradiction of an existing world of wealth and culture, both of which conditions presuppose a great increase in productive power, a high degree of its development.

The notion that "you will own nothing and be happy" has a direct antecedent in Marx, who anticipates this as the final world structure before global Communist revolution. This immiseratory process has a primary economic component Marx describes in a Letter to Friedrich Engels of 1868:
Quote: ... Then it turns out that, assuming *the rate of surplus value*, i.e. the exploitation of labour, as *equal*, the production of value and therefore the production of surplus value and therefore *the rate of profit* are *different* in different branches of production. But from these varying rates of profit a mean or general rate of profit is formed by competition. This rate of profit, expressed absolutely, can be nothing but the *surplus value* produced (annually) by the *capitalist class* in relation to the total of social capital advanced. E.g., if the social capital = 400c+100v, and the surplus value annually produced by it = 100m, the composition of the social capital = 80c+20v, and that of the product (in percentages) = 80c+20v | +20m = 20% rate of profit. This is the *general rate of profit*.
What the competition among the various masses of capital — invested in different spheres of production and differently composed — is striving for is capitalist communism, namely that the *mass of capital employed in each sphere of production* should get a fractional part of the total surplus value proportionate to the part of the total social capital that it forms
