    And surely each factory (because we all know the world only contains factories) will always sell at fair prices etc…

    You’ll need a government of some sort to regulate, and people will always try to cheese the system. And giving a government this amount of power is recipe for disaster

    Plus not all employees work as hard as the other…

      I don’t particularly care if one employee doesn’t work as hard as the others, as long as they do their job. Co-opts have already figured out how to fire people for non-performance. It’s a real job, with real responsibilities.

      There’s also more than enough abundance produced worldwide, to where everyone could have a comfortable life, regardless of how hard they work. And with more and more automation, work itself need not ever apply again.

      As to how broken governments are, the reason why is right wingers working for the last half century in a coordinated manner to actively break government. They call it “starving the beast” when “the beast” was just making sure roads were built and rivers didn’t randomly catch fire.

        I’m sorry but you’ll not convince me. I still think such world isn’t viable economically, and has design flaws. Capitalism would work better is people weren’t selfish. Communism would work if people weren’t selfish, probably. Unfortunately, it’s not the case.

        Thanks for being respectful though, appreciate it.
