What would be the objective if all were equally productive?
I'd like to explain this with a scenario, if that's alright.
You are the president of a global government. Corruption, poverty, hunger- all of the worlds problems have been eliminated. Every citizen will do what you please, ready to tackle the next global project. But what is that project? What would you have humanity do with itself?
The global community that we are, we are always pushing towards eliminating these massive, global problems- corruption, poverty, etc. What would happen if, on a theoretical level, these goals were accomplished? What would man do with himself, if he was uncorrupt?

My Answer:
The “objective” is to make more "a-step-better"s
for keeping our DNA alive.
Or, there will be no happiness in the world.

The problem with freedom is that there has to be a goal, freedom with no goal causes lots of trouble, the one thing you can count on from humans is that they have to have problems. If you doubt me try solving a person's problems and see what happens. No matter what solution you come up with they will respond that that won't work because blah blah blah. One trick is to ask them what can you do about that problem, all of a sudden they will have the answer.
You see this is life and people want to live, so let them...

As Sunil said below, "I guess it is time for war and time to create problems........"
Are you kidding me or are you being facetious?
If you are serious, then please, find another planet to go live on and destroy.
Are you so brainwashed that you actually believe if we created a world in which we had eliminated all these
nightmarish problems, so that people could live in peace, safety, enjoying all their days until they die, enjoy one another, children, growing, playing, learning, teaching, singing and so on,
that what we would then need is a fucking war!!
You are this brain-trained, that you believe we MUST CONTINUE THAT after working so hard to eliminate it?
Man.....kind, which would be a name that finally fits, would continue much of what we do today, I imagine.
We need to eat, defecate, learn, study, listen, watch, participate, make, build, refine, play and so on. Just as we do now, but without all the 'other' bad things.
We would have problems and we would work at solving the.
Enjoying life, peace, which is what everyone right now wants, works for and wants to do and somehow
if we had that, many say they wouldn't like it.
Something must be wrong with them.

In China corrupt government officials go viral once there is proof on the internet.
After that they are fired so that works good.
Poverty is harder but i think there wouldn't be poor people if everbody was equally productive.
Now poors and rich exist because people are not equal in terms of talent, wisdom, family heritage, lazyness, productivity, ambition, dominance, social skills etc.
In your suggested world there wouldn't be porverty nor richness.

If everything was so sweet, difficult to imagine, I guess we would really have to confront the least explored area of our human mind!
Not the mind in general, but our own personal mind/heart. How we operate; how we got our values; what triggers our emotions; how to utilise them more constuctively; how thoughts arise, where do they go, how do they impact on our daily life .... So much to explore but as we get to know our own selves better, that would be a huge achievement.
