The way these data are presented it's extremely difficult not to draw Malthusian conclusions instead of socialist ones. I would very much like to know how many Earths the average worker in each of these countries would need if everyone lived like them.
There's two versions of the Malthusian takeaway: one being dramatic immiseration for people living in the imperial core and denying colonized countries the opportunity to raise their living standards, the likelier interpretation a "progressive" might have; and the other being that a race war/eco-apartheid against the global south/developing world is the only option.
So according to these recent World Bank data, nominal gross income per capita in the US was around $65k/year in 2019. This would mean anyone making around $13k/year after all the surplus value from rent, interest on debt, taxes, etc. are extracted is just about living within their means according to the Earth's carrying capacity. If your living standards are comparable to that of a McDonald's frycook or an adjunct barely making more than said frycook while also paying much more in student loan debt you might not have to worry about your living standards being lowered under a hypothetical global ecosocialism unless capitalists lower the Earth's carrying capacity by destroying even more of the biosphere, or unless any one of the G7 or BRIC countries reproduces significantly above-replacement rates.
