We did in the 80s when you last were culture bombed about it. The textile industry is mostly in China now, and mostly automated, including cotton harvesting. Wool has some issues but animal cruelty tends not to register with you people, but poly blend clothing, which is by far the majority of clothing produced, has less human labor than most electronics manufacturing.

Violence is the basis of politics; as in politics is literally just deciding who we want to do violence. If some group does violence in a way we don't want, whatever social contract that did exist is broken and we need to do violence ourselves to reestablish who should be doing the violence.

It would be assuming we do reach post scarcity for all essential goods. There's more than enough bored people right now that would throw away the rest of their lifespan for a few months in space to fill a intra galactic space exploration organization; give those bored people all the free education they can handle and you have a successful star fleet.
