Lots of lazy people living off of others. Way too many lazy people. They'd be 'voted off the island' a long time ago if the people had any say. Then after that, yes, your utopia can exist. But, right now, there is a just an overwhelming fuckload of lazy and worthless piles of shit living off of others in one way or another.

Well put. Nowadays working hard and going the extra mile is considered the default. If you don't do these things then you are lazy and have no work ethic. It is nothing more than fair to be paid what you put in.

Since when are illegal aliens fellow Americans? Pretty sure tens of millions of people à

Can you please define what you mean by Oligarphy? You’ve used that word several times now. It’s not an actual word, but I’m not sure if you are maybe trying to coin a new term or aw just misspelling oligarchy every time.

I’m not trying to discredit you, I genuinely want to know. Your main points are completely valid, other than that. I think it’s a good post but for that one word..

Ah ok that’s what I figured, thanks for the clarification..

Everyone is fooled into thinking that this is “the best we can do” but don’t be fooled. We, as a society, have the ability to generate a very wealthy planet where everyone, except for the people who refuse to participate, can live very good, satisfying lives.

And we have a system in place designed to keep it that way. The Fractional-reserve banking system is rigged to keep all the money at the top and keep us all in debit. And they need to grow the debit to keep the system working.

This is why the "Tea Party" congressmen all voted to increase our debit by $1.5 Trillion. This is a burden the 99% will bare. And who will benefit, the bankers who control us with their debit and the top 1% who see most of the benefit of this "tax cut".

When you owe somebody money, that's called a "debt" not a "debit".

When you make a purchase from your checking account and that single transaction's worth of money is removed from your account accordingly, it's called a "debit" not a "debt".

The biggest evidence for something like this would be what? Enormous capital placed into leverage markets? Perpetual and enormous debt that doesn't seem to matter?

Don't forget about the income tax, that's a big tool of suppression. most people making $10 an hour would have about an extra hundred a week to play with if there wasn't an income tax. you wanna boost the economy over night? get rid of the income tax.

The fact that both of these comments had downvotes shows how compromised this sub is right now.

Forgot - deny education. Educated people are harder to control. Nazis wanted no higher than 3rd grade for the slavs they planned to "enslave" and "colonize"

This is basic economic theory that was taught in Soviet Union to EVERYONE. Of course, teaching this in US would be disasterous for the elite, thats why education here is such SHIT.

Republicans do the bidding for their masters on education: gut education so that only those who can afford the good schools can share in the spoils.

read Karl Marx. he wrote about all of this 200 years ago. That we live in an extremely wealth society thats superproductive, with factories churning out goods at super low prices. That you have to keep land/housing prices high to keep working class as slaves/etc/etc

Can't escape three things under an oligarchy: taxes, interest on debt, and death.

You wrote "Oligarphy" in the title...

Someone didn't like reading.

I believe money itself is the trap, because of inflation. We should aim at self sustainability in a personal, family, block and city leves

That was a nice watch, a gift economy sounds beautiful, thanks!

This should be stickied...
