the idea is stupid because humans can never accomplish it

2018-03-21 21:52:36 UTC  

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

2018-03-21 21:52:40 UTC  

it would be stupid if humans could accomlish it

2018-03-21 21:52:54 UTC  

yup, because nothing would evolve

2018-03-21 21:53:01 UTC  

and there would be no incentive to

2018-03-21 21:53:09 UTC  

there would be 😮 what makes you think there wouldn't?

2018-03-21 21:53:28 UTC  

if your ideal is "everyone survives" your ideal is stupid

2018-03-21 21:53:33 UTC  

things would evolve because the people who are happy workers will just invent stuff because "why not?"

2018-03-21 21:53:40 UTC  

evolution is all about coming up with an advantage over other things, if that doesn't exist

2018-03-21 21:53:45 UTC  

then it wont happe

2018-03-21 21:53:51 UTC  

its not about everyone survives

2018-03-21 21:54:12 UTC  

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

2018-03-21 21:54:18 UTC  

and normal workers too

2018-03-21 21:54:32 UTC  

plumbers working with a smile with their hands covered in clogged toilet poop

2018-03-21 21:54:46 UTC  

Which doesn't work for humans, because we're lazy greedy bastards that want more and more

2018-03-21 21:55:03 UTC  

Lazy isn't the proper term

2018-03-21 21:55:21 UTC  

I wouldn't say that humans are lazy by default.

2018-03-21 21:55:30 UTC  

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

2018-03-21 21:55:38 UTC  

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

2018-03-21 21:56:03 UTC  

At least in US culture, I'd wager that people are most unhappy when they're unproductive.

2018-03-21 21:56:05 UTC  

@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

2018-03-21 21:56:12 UTC  

yup

2018-03-21 21:56:24 UTC  

will never happen

2018-03-21 21:56:27 UTC  

exactly

2018-03-21 21:56:33 UTC  

because humans wouldn't do it

2018-03-21 21:56:37 UTC  

i can see doctors do it out of their free will

2018-03-21 21:56:44 UTC  

some doctors

2018-03-21 21:56:44 UTC  

sure

2018-03-21 21:56:51 UTC  

not enough though

2018-03-21 21:56:55 UTC  

Some doctors would.

2018-03-21 21:57:23 UTC  

You've got to consider the reasoning behind different career choices. Some people arrive at the same career through different paths and personality types.

2018-03-21 21:57:27 UTC  

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

2018-03-21 21:57:42 UTC  

that, exactly

2018-03-21 21:57:52 UTC  

and I argue that's a bad outlook on life

2018-03-21 21:57:53 UTC  

the inherent problem is that the focus of communism is completely wrong

2018-03-21 21:57:55 UTC  

you'd get some people sure

But not nearly enough

2018-03-21 21:57:56 UTC  

we're supposed to THRIVE

2018-03-21 21:58:05 UTC  

You've got doctors that want to help people, you've also got doctors who like the godlike power of life/death.

2018-03-21 21:58:15 UTC  

Some do it out of empathy, some do it out of ego.

2018-03-21 21:58:20 UTC  

thriving is competition.. all species are in competition

2018-03-21 21:58:25 UTC  

yes, and a big fat paycheck is good motivation too
