>IF EVERYONE WAS AS SMART AS ME WE WOULD BE LIVING IN UTOPIA
Im getting moviebob vibes
>EVERYONE I ARBITRARILY DECLARE AN ASSHOLE IS DEPORTED
And now im getting the Hitler vibes.
How fucking dumb are you that you're trying to suggest a world economic system that very, very obviously fails if the whole world adopts it, where the fuck are you gonna deport them to? the Moon? Where does this magical good person come from after the """"asshole"""" gets deported? I didn't even read a quarter of the article but this is already so fucking retarded it's making me laugh. Do we or can we have a thread on this tard?

Sending catcallers to the undefinable Phantom Zone is pretty funny, but allocating roles via the Magic Conch really got a chuckle out of me. The part about granting guaranteed access to the internet and technology to every human while simultaneously reducing pollution was the most obnoxious part, because this kind of magical thinking is frightfully common.

I would call the author's vision dystopian, but I think it's too flimsy and unstable for that. It would collapse almost instantly.

Every fucking time this kind of shit gets floated, it's like the person floating it gave history a brief glance, and said "Well, this time it'll be different because I'M the one setting it up!" Yeah, that was what was missing from all the other attempts at Communist Utopia - you. That's what the problem was.

How do the disabled fit into this system

 

[Your Weird Fetish]

Of course an Atheist figures that he can arbitrarily replace a system set up before he was born with something else.

You'd think an atheist of all people would understand the power of self organizing systems instead of aiming for intelligent design.

 

[Slap47]

Yeah, it's one of those... central planning economies/governments based around technology like the The Zeitgeist Movement and Venus project. While it sounds good on paper, or should I say typed, it's not very realistic.

Central planning sounds bad on paper tbh.

 

[AF 802]

Liberals are subhuman filth and need to be lined up and shot. Shit like this is why.

 

[Basil II]

How do the disabled fit into this system

Executed as they are assholes incapable of pulling their weight, SIEG HEIL!

 

[Memento Malum]

How do the disabled fit into this system

They don't. That's what Planned Parenthood is for.

 

[Your Weird Fetish]

Central planning is just something humans innately like because of a bias we're born with. For anything that large scale that handles so much information it's terrible from even a purely theoretical perspective, yeah.

 

[Foxxo]

They don't. That's what Planned Parenthood is for.

But current-day Planned Parenthood is a product of capitalism.

 

[Memento Malum]

But current-day Planned Parenthood is a product of capitalism.

Eh. It was more of a shot at Planned Parenthood's origins as a Eugenics program aimed reducing the numbers of disabled and blacks running around. Current day Planned Parenthood is more of a Democrat funding scam.

 

[Creep3r]

dude what is religion lmao

Is the fact that Mr. Brain is a super atheist make this ironic?

 

[Sīn the Moon Daddy]

It was going to be a collaboration between several unlikely friends

But i mean yeah pretty much

This entire screed can be defeated with one fact:

Humans are a bunch of cogs that don't like working in unison, unless you give us a lot of advantages for doing so, and even then we tend to fuck it up because we humans suck at commitments.

As much as capitalism sucks, it provides all sorts of benefits for people who can keep the economy going and punishes those who screw it up by it's very nature. Success takes effort, but is rewarded.

It's far from perfect, yes, but even "assholes" can prosper if they find a niche suitable for them and are willing to sacrifice a little comfort now for a hell of a lot later.

 

[CamelCursive]

Imagine if a rat could talk. And one day the rat shows up at your house, wearing a little hat and a fake mustache, pretending to be a human. And he says, "You know, as humans we could just drop more food on the floor so the rats could eat! We would be doing our part and making things better for everyone if we all gave a little!"

That's how I see modern Communists. Vermin pretending to be people that actually contribute to society, claim that "we" should all share, and then they're the ones that'll be the useless eaters dragging down the entire system.

 

[Aumis Graham]

I think that anti-capitalism has become, sadly, associated with left-wing causes. This is sadly the result of the fact that liberalism in the European sense has tainted almost every political ideology, so there is no such thing as a true 'anti-liberal' in the world, instead, anti-capitalists.

Capitalism is not the best system, nor is it the worst. It is certainly preferable to socialism. Pinochet or Franco's capitalism I would prefer over the gulag. However, capitalism will always lead to advancing liberalism, along with paving the road toward socialism. I'm not some NrX guy, nothing of the sort, but certainly, capitalism has undermined any and all traditions which could have truly stopped the spread of degenerate liberalism plaguing the earth right now.

World War One was the pivotal point, on which the monarchies of old destroyed themselves. I think it was Spengler who said colonialism died because of WW1, because they realized Europeans were so busy fighting amongst themselves, and the relationship changed.

 

[Iwasamwillbe]

Now I'm thinking about what if the "assholes" rise up and take over these cities that operate under the New System.

 

[Eris!]

Capitalism isn't an economic system, it's the absence of one.
