You've got to consider the reasoning behind different career choices. Some people arrive at the same career through different paths and personality types.
not enough people would study for months on end, whole evenings etc whilst their counterparts go out and bang chicks cuz, who cares, you get paid the same, you get the same house and car value
that, exactly
and I argue that's a bad outlook on life
the inherent problem is that the focus of communism is completely wrong
you'd get some people sure
But not nearly enough
we're supposed to THRIVE
You've got doctors that want to help people, you've also got doctors who like the godlike power of life/death.
Some do it out of empathy, some do it out of ego.
thriving is competition.. all species are in competition
yes, and a big fat paycheck is good motivation too
its just the natural way of things
but if your paycheck equals that of a janitor.. where's the motivation beyond altruism?
communism says everyone should be/have "the same" while the focus should ba that everyone should have as much as possible.
but thats why it wont work
Humans aren't generally "Oh i'll work my hardest for no extra cost cuz i'm just that nice"
besies
besides
you CAN DO THAT NOW
if you're a doctor
you can do it for free
now if you so choose
and yet very few do
so given the choice, it doesn't happen, so you can't force it with acceptable results
of course there are those that do
but not enough for it to be anything more than a rounding error.. lets be honest
@I AM ERROR you don't understand communism then
Its not about everyone getting "the same"
Its about everyone working their hardest on whatever job they're doing, and not expecting anything extra compared to others, the end result will be everyone gets "the same" but its by choice, not to make things fair
Thats why it wont work, because humans don't work for that amount of payoff
most drs donate their time to doctors without borders or something similar.. but they still make hefty wages at home
I shouldn't say most doctors, some altruistic ones, I mean
but its a rounding error out of the millions of doctors out there
The implication there being that all work is equally as valuable.
Which simply isn't the case.
correct
but that's what communism says
but its the same with Anarcho Capitalism
It wont work because a group of people can just pull a Negan, and basically kill whoever is succesful for their wealth, live off of that, and move on
Or establish a large community/country and group their resourcese to destroy opposing factions
all work is equal, all labor is equal, all labor is equally fruitful
its about everyone having what they -need- (which makes them the same in the end)
What if people aren't content just surviving, though?
but people have different needs
so even that's not the same
yes, but for it to actually work as a functional society,
You don't want people going "you make more, give it to other people"
You want "I dont want more, give it to those in need"
