exactly
but if humans were robots, it would work
hence, humanity making it flawed, not the "ideal" being stupid
the ideal is stupid
^^^
the idea is stupid because humans can never accomplish it
the ideal is solid
everyone works what best they can without a special reward, so taht everyone can survive due to enough production being made and no one being left out
it would be stupid if humans could accomlish it
yup, because nothing would evolve
and there would be no incentive to
there would be 😮 what makes you think there wouldn't?
if your ideal is "everyone survives" your ideal is stupid
things would evolve because the people who are happy workers will just invent stuff because "why not?"
evolution is all about coming up with an advantage over other things, if that doesn't exist
then it wont happe
its not about everyone survives
its about "i'm a doctor, i save lives daily, and i don't need the extra money, here someone else can have it" same for workers, farmers, engineers, scientists etc
and normal workers too
plumbers working with a smile with their hands covered in clogged toilet poop
Which doesn't work for humans, because we're lazy greedy bastards that want more and more
I wouldn't say that humans are lazy by default.
because if a doctor or somewhat with the fortitude to be one can get by with the same rewards of being a janitor, why would they push themselves? there has to be an initative.. humans aren't that altrustic to think it would happen otherwise
and socialists/communists always think they'll be the ones at the top
But they forget that even a society where everyone gets food/water/tools etc
needs people picking up trash and poop
At least in US culture, I'd wager that people are most unhappy when they're unproductive.
@LotheronPrime thats exactly why it wouldn't work
For communism/socialism to work, doctors etc would need to want to do it out of their own free will
yup
will never happen
exactly
because humans wouldn't do it
i can see doctors do it out of their free will
some doctors
sure
not enough though
Some doctors would.
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
