Im interested in this Techo-communism Idea. Perhaps if we embraced renewable erergy sources and developed the explitation of polymers (as apposed to mineral materials) there could be enough resources for us all to live like kings. The fundimental reason for the existence of inequality being the apparent scarcity of resources and people are by and large self centered and greedy and therefor not content living with there fair share and so strive to become rich at the expense of others. But could it be possible, just maybe, that technology could provide endless resources so that everyone can be rich? If nano-technology can theorietically turn charcoal into diamond then what does this mean in terms of the scarcety of future resources.
Its little pearls of hope that make the grim reality of human nature all the more painful. The real question is; will the people with the power and authority to do execute such plans actually want to?
