I've read your post several times over and can't figure out whether you're trying to contradict something I said or not. In any case...
All economic systems are attempts to deal with scarcity of resources
Communism is precisely the post-scarcity utopia, which requires abundance of resources to exist first.
there isn't suddenly an abundance of resources because a certain system was adopted
Yes... And that's why no country tried to jump directly to communism, as none of them had the required abundance and all knew that they wouldn't reach that abundance simply by changing the system. Rather, they acknowledged that they would first need to reach the over abundance and believed that socialism would be more ethical and efficient system for the transitional period.
Furthermore, you're confusing resources with materials. Labor, capital and materials are the three equally needed resources for economic activity.
I can't figure out what in my post would make you think that. When talking about abundance of resources in relation to communism, the question is "Can everyone be delivered whatever they need?" and obviously that requires more than just the materials. (You can't deliver needed medical treatment without doctors and so on).
