If you took all the money, and then you give every Person $100,000, those who were once Wealthy will likely become wealthy again, and the Poors will lose it all immediately

No one understands basic economics. I'm willing to bet most of the people in my town have never heard the term "Price Ceiling" before.

@psyxypher The problem with this video is that it describes a very Authoritarian society which in my view could never really be a Utopia

The Society being described for example forces people to work for 2 years

That doesn't really seem like a Utopia

That's *always* how it starts.

I understand the point that the idea of a Utopia for some is a Dystopia for others

But that isn't always the case

I think the best way for a Utopia to function would be a Government with Socially Democratic Bernie Sanders Style Economic Policy while also maintaining a Libertarian approach to Social Policy and intervening with the lives of citizens

if you unironically think humanity will ever reach a point of Utopia....

i dont know what i can do for you mate.

I do.

Explain why he's wrong.

I think we could reach it in a few lifetimes

well you're a more patient man then I am. Thats for certain @psyxypher

Of course it depends on your definition

The problem is that your method requires the fatal flaw that destroys every Socialist state.
Government Power.

The Government would be restricted though

That's why it should have one Socially Democratic Element and one Libertarian Element

A Utopia is just simply not possible. even if we achieved a point where scarcity of resources is eliminated

I think you're looking at a Libertarian state, not a socialist one.
Styxhexenhammer is a libertarian who thinks we should have some social safety net.

Some Socialist Policies would be needed

In my view a Free Market is not possible in a Utopia

The Government would have to have a high amount of control over the economy

The Free Market could never ensure that everyone is able to live a comfortable life without working at all

The only way an Authoritarian utopia would work is if the residents are unaware of the existence of other groups or nations outside of their own

I don't think an Authoritarian society could be a Utopia

Freedom is needed

A Utopia is not possible.

Ever.

How are you defining it?

Humans would just get bored, and tear it apart lol

just to see what would happen

I consider a Utopia to be a society where people live in freedom and are able to live a comfortable life without working

you might not... but someone would

We can maintain a police force

There should still be laws

We shouldn't be living in Anarchy

so there would still be work

In the future we could attempt to use Automation and AI for a police force

if that happens im <:thinkcide:462282415549841409>
