Your world? Gee you think you just invented a whole new form of goverment don't ya? Aren't you a genius to think of a cross between communism and capitalism! For your information your glorious invention already exsists and it's called a social market economy. Just come on over to Germany, We have it!

Anyone can accomplish anything, it's called "working your ass off at school, getting GCSE's (or whatever you have in America, we have GCSE's in Britain) and getting a decent job. Instead of sitting on your lazy arse making youtube videos every day of the week.

@Sivels Pretty much the world is fucked. To be prosperous you have to rape it really.

@TehRedEnchanter society is completely dysfunctional at this point.. All that government provides is shit and the regulations they impose are extremely costly and can be taken over by market regulation. Government control of currency has been destroying vast amounts of wealth since 1913 and especially since the 1970's when the government went off the gold standard so they could finance their budgets through generational debt slavery. Things do not work, and it's because of taxation/force.

@Sivels No... communities having their own taxes obviously, that's what I meant. Communities pooling their resources (what you want to happen) through having their own taxes, notice I said 'own' not 'paying tax to a government' (which you would have already decentralised). That kind of system will not work anymore. The best you can hope for is a world (nowhere near our time) where sci-fi stuff is real and there are no taxes, yet everything still works for various reasons that will not apply now.

@TehRedEnchanter uniting communities by taxing all of them..?. you really are a first-class moron.
Nobody's against you having your socialism. You're talking about this like choosing cars. I'm not part of your community.
Also medical services would be at least half, if not less in a total market. Evidence of this is how it was much cheaper even as recently as the 1970s, and how dental services and plastic surgery keeps getting cheaper, while the more state-controlled procedures get more expensive.
Google "100 years of medical robbery" for how this happened.

@sewbuttns If the capitalist is in fact providing a service, then he'll be able to earn money for his services in the absence of a state. Both capitalists and organized wage-earners have used the state to limit competition from other firms and workers. Also you don't need a state to have law, and stateless law has upheld both communist and individualist norms for property. But remember, the first capitalists didn't have state privilege, and yet they still came into being.
