Capitalism isn't absolute insomuch as any other economic system, like the feudalism that preceeded it and the agrarian society that preceeded that was absolute. One day, be that one day soon or not, it too will run it's course like any idea as society and technology move on, and evolve into or be supplanted by a different system (which may or may not have already been invented) today. Maybe it will be overthrown, maybe it will change so much that it will become a new thing entirely with a transitional period, but nothing lasts forever. It's naïve and limited to think any system can last forever in society which by it's very nature changes, especially as rapidly as its doing so today.

This literally didn't happen and is just Marx's dumb idea that history has a coherent story and an end goal it's moving towards. It has no connection to real history or economics.

I think we should go full Fascist and put the deathfats to work in concentration camps.

The principle marxist criticism of capitalism that it concentrates power in the hands of the few is accurate, but this problem is worse in marxist oriented nations.

There is no substitute to good values and there is little value to good values if they are not shared, something consistently undermined by both marxism and capitalism.

It's not the system that benefits people, it's the quality of people that benefits people. You can have a shitty system and it will work better if it's filled with good people and you can have a great system and it will work terribly if filled with bad people. Just look at all the countries with "democratic" or "republic" in their names. Pretty good systems filled with terrible people, mostly.

Having an elite class is an inevitability. People simultaneously resenting them and sucking their cock is equally inevitable. Good people would keep their excesses in check by the willingness of self-sacrifice for the group shared ideals.

Group shared ideals barely exist anymore.

Imagine existing in a slum like this, and we come by and say to you:
“Let us introduce you to a new economic system, where you contribute your time to the economic system each week, and in return every meal you eat will be cruise ship quality, and served to you in a restaurant, 365 days a year.”
What do you imagine that the response to this proposal might be from your typical human being trapped in a disgusting slum or refugee camp? Obviously the response would be enthusiastic – this sounds like a dream come true compared to starving in a slum.

If someone said this to me, I would assume they're trying to scam me. I like that he casually seems to think everyone's been on a cruise ship. And I don't think he's put any thought at all into how crowded a restaurant, or even all the city's restaurants would be if everyone was expected to go to them for EVERY MEAL. Plus everyone would get fat as fuck.

The software system that allocates all of the tasks to the city’s residents can let people input all of their preferences like these, and then allocate tasks based on everyone’s preferences.

I know someone who works at Walmart and this sounds like the scheduling system they have there. There's no way this could backfire or be abused. He mentions people on vacation don't have to work, but how much vacation is allowed?

Think about it this way: if a person demonstrates laziness and/or criminal behavior more than two or three times, we simply send them back to the slum that they came from. We bring in a new person who is grateful to experience Heaven on Earth.

So how often, if ever, does this "asshole behavior counter" reset? If you are having a bad day for two days in a row, is that enough to get banished to the Shadow Realm? What if it is like those zero-tolerance policies where someone picks a fight with you and you fight back, do you both get deported for being assholes? Also that last sentence, lol fuck off.

To reiterate: Imagine living in a new economy and a new society where we have effectively eliminated all of the muggers, burglars, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, stalkers, creeps, gangbangers, thugs, bullies, racists, homophobes, misogynists, drug dealers, drunks, con artists, pickpockets, purse snatchers, boomboxers, homeless people, arsonists, vandals, terrorists, religious fanatics, cat callers [ref], prostitutes, spammers, phishers, swindlers, con men, embezzlers, bribery-seekers, corruptors, free-loaders, beggars, paparazzi, drug addicts, public restroom defilers, line cutters, road ragers, kidnappers, lazy people, etc.

Are lazy people and line cutters on the same level as pedophiles and murderers? It sounds like they will all be punished in the same way.

The absurdity of this whole thing makes me think of the Soup Tube, because it makes the same amount of sense.
Does he ever consider jobs that might take more than an hour at a time? Can you just leave because the Harry Potter sorting hat only scheduled you for an hour, even if you're in the middle of performing brain surgery? All jobs are interchangable so farmer John can just come in and pick up where the surgeon left off.
