You're blocked, ass-hole. You ask too many question at once, and then whenever I address one of your questions, you act like I'm dodging the rest. I read Zeitgeist literature regularly. I read it along-side all sorts of stuff that I agree with, and stuff I disagree with as well. You refuse to learn, and so you're not worth my time.

More specifically, even if machines slowly displaced only a large minority of people, expanding unemployment, the ramifications would be systemic, and the entire economic system would grow more and more unstable and inoperable.

[DustinLT1985]

Regardless of your opinion, the fact is, the pattern of constant technological

improvement coupled with automated machinery can theoretically create an economic environment where the abundance of materials and production mediums are so high and efficient, most humans will have little need to ‘purchase’ anything, let alone ‘work for a living’, in the traditional sense. 

[DustinLT1985]

The evolution, application and interpretation of Economics are staggeringly large bodies of material with endless debate. It is

not in the interest of this manual to present a treatise on the whole of Economics. In fact, a partial basis of this manual is to

show how, through the advent of Technology and the elimination of Scarcity, 99% of all economic theory is now an outdated

and irrelevant practice.- A.O.G.

[DustinLT1985]

Keep in mind all of the authors you have cited did not anticipate the advanced technology we have today considering all of them were from the late 19th to early 20th century.

@gunsandbullhorns And I do not care when the video came out because I'm asking you NOW how your theory of economics would help our world. I also love how you paint any type of advanced civilization as a vague Utopian vision. Opposed to your outdated beliefs of economics that come from the European industrial revolution. Excuse me for living in the 21st century where technology is abundant and we can easily improve our world without economics.

This video was made before the A.O.G. came out, numbnuts. Prior to the A.O.G., the RBE was uncritiqueable because it was just a vague utopian vision.

I'll refer you to Pages 6-7 of the Activist Orientation guide. The Theoretical RBE is based on the (woefully incorrect) Labour Theory of Value, and a conflation of the concepts of Money-price, Cost & Value. That's my crititicism of the RBE. The foundation on which it's reasoned is incorrect.

@gunsandbullhorns Ok so how exactly are those solutions supposed to work? Don't refer me to a book where someone is voicing their opinions I want YOUR OPINIONS!!!!! and I want to hear exactly how this would work? I typed out a pretty extensive explanation about my perspective now I want the same effort out of you. I haven't received one solid credible argument from ANY critics of a RBE and I'm still waiting

The solution to all of those problems is as follows:

1) Individual Property Rights

2) Total and uninhibited freedom of exchange between consenting parties
