RE: What will the world look like without rich people?
Thanks for the google cookie.
Did you look at the sources of those links?
Hardly unbiased.
We dont know what played out, maybe the 'leaders' were banging everybody elses wives and the men refused to work in such a condition.
The fact remains, today is hardly comparable to then.
The only reason robots dont do most of the work now is because starving workers pillage the castles.
Keep working, stop paying.
I think Bradford wrote a firsthand account.
Robots are getting better and doing more work but I doubt they will ever do it all.
What makes you think he didnt hide his warts?
He mustve told the truth because its in a book handed to you by a teacher?
Maybe the real story didnt come out because the dissenters were illiterate?
Or worse, it did come out but was swept down the memory hole.
Somebody has to build the robots that build the robots, so yeah, somebody will have to work.
I say we make the young people do it!
Why would he? From what I know the story does seem factual. I think the pilgrims did have an ideology similar to yours.
lol Like schools would preach against communism?
Maybe the story is true?
Build the robots man the robots program the robots etc. Natural resources aren't completely free either. We might get 50-75% robotic but I doubt we will get much higher than that. Humans have a tendency to be pretty wasteful as well. More robots won't necessarily mean more wealth.
I doubt the full story made it into print, but i wasnt there.
Bums, in such a small community, could have had a devastating impact.
Today, we carry the bums and their supportive bureaucrats.
Better we just carry the bums and the bureaucrats build robots, imo.
Im not looking for wealth, im looking for leisure.
I dont need baubles to be happy, but i would like my time to be my own.
Im prepared to meet a reasonable standard, but this aint it.
I dont want to live in a trailer park and eat cat food, not at the cost of the better part of my waking hours.
Hell, they started taking them when i was five, for petes sake.
From what I've seen in real life anarchocommunism would not work.
What would you do with old people on welfare?
Leisure is simple. Just get a sugardaddy. ;) lol jk
If leisure was your main priority I think you could make it happen. It is nice of you to be so giving though. If everyone was like you I think communism might work. I think you might even be in the minority though and plus there are enough thugs out there to steal and cause problems.
Are you talking about losing your waking hours to school when you were 5? I hope you weren't working at 5 years old.
Nobody over 50 has to work anymore.
They would go on cruises and live jet set lifestyles while seeing doctors for free and not paying for pills.
Did you miss the part about not paying for anything anymore?
Yes, it's always other people that are bad.
It's the other politicians that are corrupt.
If we take your assumption to be true, why is less than 1% of the population in prison?
Yes, but I call it being indoctrinated because they left out soooo much that didn't fit into their agenda.
If i had been working at 5 i would be better off now. I'd still be working in that business, eh?
The quicker a kid learns to support it's self, under crapitalism, the better of it will be.
That vote buying is starting to look like abuse.
Once you get the slider, at 500sp, I hope you show some class and sink or swim on the value the community gives to your content,...
