Any society needs resources. In order for a society to grow or maintain itself, their consumption of resources must not exceed the production of it.
Should we pursue a society that doesn’t depend on the heavy exploitation of resources, it would mean to severely limit the reproduction of its population within the society’s means of sustaining them.
Our planet does not have the capability to sustain our current 8 billion population.
Many of us will die and after that many would be restricted in their rights for procreation.
As such, while those societies might be pleasant for some humans, the ones it needs to get rid of to achieve its desired status won’t be too happy with it needing them gone.
Not a dystopian nightmare?
Your nightmare is someone else’s dream.
My nightmare is a libertarian’s wet dream?
No idea. Never met a libertarian.
No realistic society can satisfy everyone, because when it comes to individual desires, “we the people” falls apart.
How about a society that isn’t predicated on the exploitation of others?
Some societies are objectively more pleasant to humans than others, otherwise we wouldn’t strive at all

I think it’s doable. Sure we won’t have so much cheap crap in the north, but no one needs to starve.
It might be. Depends on the people really. Hopefully there will be a good example to follow.
