Money does not reflect resources -.-

@TigerbythetailFilms We've never had old age or new age "marxism" tried or implemented ever. You can't absolute everything. It's not like we're living in capitalism right now. We live in a rich only form of socialism. The paradigm of the Venus Project is akin to what Skynet would actually be like and not the Terminator fear mongering. The scientific method applied to society, not the individual will of a few human beings on the majority of labor or wage slaves.

Stefan, Peter successfully showed how your points are irrelevant. That is why it was not appropriate to respond to them. The question is not whether you can connect a resource based economy with Marxism. It simply doesn't matter how much connection there is between a resource based economy and Marxism because you're using labels.

To have a rational society, it must be made up of rational human beings. Both you and Peter know that the key to doing this is raising our children without the notions of violence and deprivation. Only when the language of hatred is forgotten can a TRULY sane society exist. Time for a revolution of consciousness.. ^.^

Stef i'm sorry but you are acting like a religious person. There is just no other way to describe you in this video. YOU did not listen to what Peter had to say. This is not communism, because money is abolished, and all "central planing" does is merely allocate proper resources to the world population. That's it! The physical needs- that is, food and water, will be given equally to every person on the planet, while the production will be automated and a track will be kept for all the resources.

[Yamakoto120]

@TimothyADonaghue Well how the fuck do you want smart allocation of resources to occur ? This does not act like an oppressive government. It just allocates the world's resources, to strategically meet the needs of every single human on the planet, and automating the production. YOU WILL BE FREE OF HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE ! And you call this communism ? Do not forget that communism keeps people in line, it destroys their individuality, this just takes care of everyone.

@mikejpete Price is what allows us to efficiently allocate resources.

@linkmaster667 No, dude, that was not PJ(my boss). His analogy of how to apply his resouces in a business type scenario is irrelevant to a resource based paradigm. As said, a central computer system will monitor available resouces and if a person, or group of person's want to pursue a passion project, that kind of thinking is encouraged and can easily be achieved through cooperative action.

[linkmaster667]

@LeonDawson11 Have you seen the debate video? Your boss had no answer to the problem of calculation. How can you advocate a new economic system when you have no answer to efficiency?

[LeonDawson11]

Peter, please destroy this idiot again.

[ilovebewbz101]

the problems with capitalism and the free market are to big to be ignored and if we as a civilization expect to survive the next hundred years we will have to move into a system that at least resembles a resource based economy and far as him saying having no private property resembles marxism in a way yeah but our motive for getting rid of private property is an issue of efficiency while marx wanted to get rid of it because he thought it would be a way for capitalists to get back power

[beauxq]

@TimothyADonaghue The language of private property is doublespeak. The term that's used is "exclusive rights". You have to recognize that "exclusive" is a grammatically negative word. It's not giving anyone rights, it's only about the idea of certain people (everyone except the owner) NOT having rights.
