owning "means of production" is one element of a different mindset, a different way to think about time, value and trading. Is that the key?

No, the entire premise that owning means of production is key is flawed. Darwinian economic competition has no fixed locus. Advantage accrues to whoever controls the bottleneck scarce resource, and there always exists such a bottleneck. There is no arrival into “postcapitalism”

Demand makes it sound too normal, like there’s a possibility of substitution effects or non-consumption. Scarcity is stronger than that. A drought is not demand for water, it’s a game-ender Perhaps “inelastic demand that serves as system constraint boundary/forcing function”
