@netster007z I like Free Market, BUT there are a few issues. A regular free market would allow competition (removal of federal copyright/patent laws) on ideas like creation of items. A person who makes a living making a parcel for a corporation for example. But said parcel is used for a machine that isn't worked on since it's old, and the corporation threatens to the individual who makes the parcel that it'll make it's own. Thus killing the living of the individual.

@dirty1smelly1turban Sounds like you agree that free market capitalism is the best system.

Why can't you commies go post your own stuff and stop polluting the rest of the internet? Go post to moveon.org or some other marxist website? The self loathing displayed by turban, is exactly what makes independent minded people run away from the left. That and the proof that leftist ideas are all fail. Turban, go pray to a bureau...

@bleekblock also, your comment is simply pointless. if you have nothing good to argue with or constructive to say, then dont say it. an american calling me a "socialist zombie" is as stupid as a north korean calling me a "capitalist zombie". ive lived through both systems; ive lived through romanian communism, a romanian revolution, american capitalism, and european bureaucracy. IF ANYONE is unbiased, it would be me. what have YOU experienced? what do YOU have to compare to? nothing? exactly.

@bleekblock i dont believe in a socialist utopia. there will never be an utopia. i DO believe in improving everyones lives in the world, not just a few sick fucks who never learned how to share in grade 1. and explain how what i mentioned is socialistic? its a completely new idea and its called REASOURCE-BASED ECONOMY, its NOT communism, or socialism

@dirty1smelly1turban Oh God - another zombie who believes in a socialist utopia that has never existed and which never will.

@TenseAlcyoneus its not contradictory at all. you took it out of context because i meant "get rid" in a different manner. a better word would be "fulfil", give it everything, cancel it out in a way. just like in math, -5 + 5 = 0, providing material confort, EDUCATION, healthcare, etc to everyone would please people and avoid getting those human tendencies out of hand. and no its not communism, communism completely bases itself on equal work for everyone, which wouldnt be needed at all.

@samarthdevendra001 thats not what i meant. add in a little education to the mix and that wouldnt be a problem. in a post-scarcity society, where there is enough for everyone, the feeling of ownership will be only applicable to sentimental objects. not everyone will want those objects, materialism would disappear when everything is available. and obviously there would still need to be a system of reward, only not through greed, through innovative thinking
