From your last post I add just this. Apart from agreeing that god probably doesn't exist, the only other thing I can agree with you on is your assertion that you'd like to make everybody excessively wealthy.
But we know that is pure fantasy, even ,and undoubtedly, under capitalism, don't we?
I said I'd rather make everyone excessively wealthy, rather than you wanting them to be "free" from excessive wealth, if someone does not want to be wealthy, does not value material wealth or takes pleasure from other things then they can freely pursue their own desires and pleasures - Unlike you I won't force a single person to go one way or the other, nobody has any moral authority to make that decision for them.
Yeah, making everyone excessively wealthy isn't a realistic goal, namely because resources are scarce and wealth is relative. Your fantasy "camp sing-along state" is just as absurd, the difference is I'm not pretending that working towards some utopia is a realistic goal, nor am I willing to assume I have the authority to make people work towards my idealised world - You on the other hand seem quite happy thinking you know best and if you think it's something that should be done you can just go along and force compliance.
