Quote by: SoccerfreakAB2 Grandpa, I like the idea to abolish money, I really do. Bu really, let's get a reality check.
I looked at the websites. The first one was terrible and provided no framework for a new system better than capitalism. It just said how capitalists are bad people, we're corrupt, etc. like we would be great, perfect people in a money-free society. You must have little grasp on pre-history to understand the human nature. We're intellectual animals, you need to remember that.
The second website brought more of a challenge but it's far more Marxist than anything I've read so current. People would steal, loot, pillage, plunder, others property, food, families even! No, not because we're bad people but because we're scared. There's no order, it's chaos. We don't live in small villages with our own resources anymore, we have 6.5 billion people on this planet, with many many nations using up their resources. The abandonment of capitalism would scare everybody into protecting their own resources and chaos would ensue. It's so easy to see that this is a madman policy.
Two thumbs down, sorry gramps. |
Finite resorces is also a falicy. It'a an idea sold to the general public by concerns wishing to over value their products or services for undue profit.
We as individuals need to take more responsibility for ourselves with regard to "wants verses needs".
Shelter, food and water are needs everthing else is a want.
The most powerful addiction in the world is capitalist consumerism.
