property rights, enforceable contracts, and free market economies oriented society toward nonviolent means of resource allocation the central assumption of these technologies is that scarcity is fundamental if ai successfully invalidates that assumption, how will society be reorganized?

Not sure on your history. Property rights require violence to enforce them. If you disagree, go steal something in front of a cop. Eventually an agent of the state will bonk you on the head if you refuse to yield to someone else's authority. And free market economies only possible through massive state intervention (2008 bailouts, political campaigns against trade unions, government subsidies, etc.) Scarcity is much less of an issue than it was in the past. Especially something like food. We have the technological means already for abundance. But because of political choices, we got billionaires and a new iPhone every year instead. What happens in the future will be a matter of what political battles get fought and won. If the Musks and Altmans of the world continue to hold the keys to the shoggoth, then we could have absolute abundance but scarcity for the rest of us could be maintained. What happens next is an utterly political question. Technological questions are secondary.
