pro: it looks like it could work on paper. con: it doesn't actually work.
it just creates a different kind of class system between the government & the people. it is impossible to make everyone equal, through communism or democracy, but it is better to have the checks and balances against corrupt and oppressive government that we have in a democratic republic.

lets divide it all up, educate more scientists from different poorer places and work on space travel, not wars.

i don't know if you've noticed (try switching on the news) but capitalism and its years of greed is failing as we speak.

We need a whole new approach perhaps based on some of the novel ideas presented to us by the music of Autechre. Imagine the Pentagon controlled by Max SP or whatever it is.

I can't work out why it doesn't work, why would someone who is smart enough to be a doctor or a lawer want to be paid more than a farm worker?

i heard on the radio the other day that women love diamonds ,shoes and money as security for their babies and mainly to show off to their friends. it costs the earth...so in the end their future bables ..> bablies will probably perish anyway due to their lack of fore site and selfishness. ..what a horrible thing to say on radio ...still the female interviewer came back and hit hard for that statement sexist or something...men are to blame of course as they are mainly the ones designing the systems. bastards,

What kind of 'question' is that? Of course the working class is responsible that someone could become a doctor. So, you have to serve them! Thats a privilige!

Read this to see why neither the American capitalist model, nor the Soviet com...
All modern industrial economies are ultimately doomed to fail as they are unsustainable environmentally, socially and economically.
Ultimately, we'll all have to return to a more frugal, agriculture-based economy. The transition won't be easy.

Oops - my lazy link didn't work very well - it was supposed to read "neither the American capitalist model, nor the Soviet communist model *work*".

Here are a few reasons why none of those models will work.
1-People aren't the same. Some people work best under capitalism, some people work best under communism, some people work best under fascism and some people work best under a frugal agriculture based economy. You will never find a community large enough for any kind of reasonable sustainability where everyone works under a single of these conditions.
2-There is no one simple answer to solving all our problems as a society.
3-The human mind gravitates towards chaos while nature gravitates towards order.
4-The natural state of things is one where the strong kills the weak as a means of survival. Existence is suffering.
