Poverty
#13
RE: Poverty
Why can't the rest of you idiots instead of slinging around entire ideologies hammer out a hybrid solution?

That's the third fucking way. It's called actually tweaking and improving the system.

And it is fairly well established through centuries of commerce that people are going to, one way or another barter goods and services for other goods and services. The medium of which they conduct their business limits the scale, but is arbitrary.

I mean, this "Communism v. Capitalism" penis duel is useless.

Not to mention, in societies of scale, capitalist and capitalist-like economic systems have better out competed similar societies. So, even if "capitalism" is not the correct solution, it is orders of magnitude more viable than many other ones.

Though, in my view, an economic system which restricts the creativity of it's people, through starvation, marginalization and greed, loses a lot. And any system that becomes too wasteful becomes easy prey for competing implementations and powers.
