it doesn't assume people don't value competition. it just says their competition is misdirected. put so by a system which conditions from birth the notion in all of us that this is the only way the world can work.
it doesn't assume there are more resources. it says we can make more efficient the means by which we procure them.
the only reason we don't have technological freedom is that money stands in the way. if money were not there, technological advancements would be made in a open-source framework.
people don't need
things to value. they'll figure this out when they learn to value themselves.
EDIT: and one other thing, Mark Zuckerberg ripped off his friends to start facebook.
