Until folks directly decide to own slaves - and then someone has to step in and say "Nope, sorry, not happening", eh?
I'm biased, I admit that fully..lol.
Quote:including loss of private property and wealth, into becoming community profit, and everything should be regarded with having the prespective of having community as the priority over self interests.Except that if they can't directly-democratically decide to own private property, wealth - against community "profit" and for their own self interests we're not actually talking about a direct democracy (if what they can directly democratically vote yay or nay for is limited in any way..say, by a constitution..we've left the field of "direct democracy" and gone on to other things). I think it's pretty well established that people do tend to vote yay for these things given the chance, btw. IMO, a better compromise is a system that protects those things and allows for them - but that also allows for people to -at the social or cultural level- not pursue them. That leaves the field open and amounts to more liberty. The fewer things that are specifically not allowed under a system the better. Doesn't mean that everything has to be permissible, or that the list of things not permissible can't be obscenely long, but every item on that list better have a damned good reason for being there, and if it doesn't -need- to be there it has no business being on the list.
