Aneirin -> RE: How the hell is this supposed to help the 99%? (12/13/2011 12:08:34 AM)

Distasteful as some would think, my understanding that all this have and have not aggravation, (which is what the 99% argument is), worldwide can only be solved by the world moving towards a more socialistic system of governance and business.
I mean why has someone just got to be better, wealthier etc, isn't that a bit primitive, what exactly is wrong with all people just getting on and enjoying their lives with what they have and can do without this idiotic striving to be better than someone else ?
And no to the rabid, that does not mean communism, for we now know after so many experiments have been ventured that some aspects of socialism work and are of a benefit so cannot be discounted, but surely we should not be locked into what we have that is failing because we fear what we think about what we really don't know about unless we have experienced.
Surely there is a way forward that can encompass the best of socialism with the least damaging but inspiring capitalism for now until at least the sf inspired replicator is created, but maybe that is not too far off as we already have three dimensional printers and we theorise about Higgs boson particles, the ''God''particle, of which I believe has just been positively identified at the Cern Hadron Colider.
You know I often wonder what the world would be like if Nikola Tesla had succeeded in his humanitarian dream of providing free energy for the world via his cosmic ray motor and other ideas, as we already know his idea of the transmission of electricity through the air is already being commercially developed by Wi Tricity corp. But commercial it is as it ever is and the reason perhaps why we are still ripping fossil fuels out of the planet, ( wonder if one day the crust will collapse), but as we know what starts out as being commercial quite often ends up as free for all. Then perhaps we can concentrate on bettering ourselves in terms of knowledge, not wealth.
