Why do people pay for sex Rev, I'm sure there are as many reasons as stars in the sky. I agree that any system of government has problems, what I'm wondering is how yours solves any of these problems, why make the switch? Even the idea of eliminating crimes of necessity, so syndicate A has less than syndicate b...what is syndicate A to do? The system you're describing to me just sounds like tribalism reworded.
Also, if the "problem" of greed can be dealt with by making sure everyone is provided for then why do we have "greedy billionaires"?
Of course free transportation can fit into any system.
as far as rationing, why should i need 300 pumpkins? Why should i need 2 cars when one is sufficient? rationing is not about freedom. Its about what is available at the time. If everyone has an equal share of the pie, then that is what you get. therefore, rationed. In otherwords, you dont get MORE than your share of the pie. that is what I mean by "rationed" as in "ratio" as in "your slice of the pie". Everyone gets the equal amount, rationally speaking, of course.
If you wish to use your rations to pay for sex..then have at it. Dont expect me to make up for your difference.
And yes, in a sense syndicalism is a very basic system of social organization. tribalism? I wouldnt quite use that word, but many anarcho-primitives are moving over to anarcho-syndicalism as they see it more effective than tribalism, but still retaining some of the better qualities of tribalism.
If a neighboring syndicate is having problems, then it really depends on how well syndicate A and B get along together. Both syndacalist societies may, more than likely, come together for the common good. BUT, syndicates dispise centralization, so it means the merger may be shakey. Some syndicates may get into brawls over jurisdiction and code disputes, but nothing near war would happen as there are hardly any laws involved, and profit is typically minimal or non-existant.
