What if friendly aliens came, but had one demand

Say a friendly space traveling society came to Earth and promised to bring us up to their level of enlightenment and intergalactic travel. We’re talking a peace and prosperity never attainable before now.
But....
We had to give up all wealth, all money, all possessions and all debt. Just gotta trust ‘em.
We’d still work at some level, but it would be essentially pure socialism, but without the corruption.
Could you do it?

Why do I need their enlightenment and "peace". I'm content right now, with my stuff.

Isn't this what the white colonizers tried to do?

If it includes prosperity for virtually everyone then yeah I guess so but I would definitely try to reason with them about a 200 year transition or something like that.

I can’t wait for an alien to get shipjacked

No such thing, alien or human.

I would like to be able to be in a position where I had luxurious items and could pursue any interests without need to work. However I don't think humans are capable of it as a society.

AI could make it work. A hive society would get you closest in a non artificial sentient.
