Resource based economy with profit removed from the equation.

I'd like to see this happen. Anyone know of anything in the works that might make this possible?

Are you talking about a socialist economy? Where everything is focused on welfare Maximization of the citizens of the economy? Which also goes along side the laissez-faire economy? That sort of most likely never exists because if everything is done as per welfare motive, the economy won't survive. Give it a thought and you'll see.

I get what you are saying that a nation trying to become more communist in the way it does business doesn't go well with the global economy because of the fact everyone still adheres to the rules of capitalism... but I think what he is trying to say is what if there was some sort of resolution amongst the big impact nations/unions (US, Russia, China, EU, etc) that will adhere to a more communistic, or better yet, a governance system that hasn't been even tried before that is solely based on all humans trying to live prosperly without work and reliance on automation to solve problems, like what is proposed on the Zeitgeist documentaries. The question I think might be what type of governance system could make this at all possible.
