we dont need money no more .. energy will be free in a decade. free energy means very cheap access to resources .. very cheap.. money are about to lose significance soon
A moneyless,classless,stateless communities of humanity expressing our freedom in creative harmonious cooperation for a world that is so POTENTIALLY AND ACTUALLY nourishing. Capitalism in any form, Statist or Corporatist is the denial of our common humanity in a politically manipulated,tyrannical armed MARKET SYSYTEM of artificial scarcity that is designed to perpetuate the enslavement of immense humanity for material interest of the criminal ruling elite.
@arzoyan Nice utopia, when applied with the right regulations and in the right contexts the Market System ain't bad at all. Do not blame the Market System for humans' avarice, selfishness and ambition. Whether we like it or not all those attitudes are part of us, and they belong to us as much as tolerance, solidarity, respect and other moral values. It's just how we are, therefore an anarchist communism scenario based on pure cooperation will never occur.
@arzoyan social justice is completely incompatible with human freedom and anything that is the product of civilization can provide neither. It is the techniques which by virtue of being organization dependent lend themselves to organization control and the resulting coercion of the individual. Until most individuals stop worshiping the false god of technique, like the false deities of old, humanity will never be free. The myth of technological progress poses the greatest danger to humanity.
@theindiekidable if you are suggesting people can live outside of the technological system without it eventually infringing on their or their children's liberties, you are dead wrong. I don't think you need to look further than the history of native americans to see what happens when cultures try to exist tangent to it. The whole system must be destroyed, even if it means making compromises to do so. Or, if you were a native, would you bring a spear to a gunfight out of principle?????
I am sure there are other contemporary philosophers out there, but it seems that Zizek is the most brilliant it pointing out the underpinnings of post-modern society, the realities behind its proclamations. He always provides incredible understand on this topic. Who else could point out that our post-modern distanciation from matters such as love is actually our acknowledgement and thus fear of the power of love (now whether you think that power is a good or bad power goes into another issue).
point being that, our surface level cynicism is really a mask, we still believe in romantic ideas about birth, life, and death, but, we simply deny them
@mavinga hey, Do you think that Zizek points out that we're afraid of the power of love? to come into its grasp? to fall into it? or to make it (because, in the end, the love we take, is equal to the love...we make [:)]? or, alternatively, that we're afraid to state what it is because it's such an important philosophical notion, perhaps at the crux of human life. Whatever the reason, this deconstructive approach is hollow, it seems, since it has nothing for itself.
