If you could enact laws into action to change society

If you could enact laws into action to change society
So how about you explain why everyone should make the same income?

It's simple.

And the other thing you said, about taking incentives and lack of sounds like how life works in Star Trek... ie no money just people doing their jobs for the good of all. Again a nice ideal, but like Communism I don't think it would ever work.

Not with that attitude.

Precisely... ideas like that would only work if everyone bought into it... but there will always be greed and corruption in the world, imo anyway.

I think prayer would be more effective than implementing that retarded law.

Any dipshit anti immigrant blow hard who demands a test for "Canadian values" ( i'm looking at you kellie leitch ) must be willing to submit themselves there friends and there family to the same test. And if they fail they lose there citizenship . If your willing to subject other people it in the name of "security" then surly you believe that no one should be immune.

You can't make someone who was born in Canada (or most other countries, for that matter) stateless. Residents applying for citizenship is a totally different story.

The key feature about the truely classless world is while there may be nominally no formal incentives, there will always be opportunistic incentives in the form of the ability to withhold energy and effort from other in order to benefit oneself while escaping retribution.

So a truely classless system can't really avoid indirectly but structurally rewarding the opportunistic freeloading self-serving class, at the expense of the diligent hard working rest. If we must take the long Darwinian view, we might say in a truely classless system where everyone is exhorted to be selfless, the fittest would be the most cunningly selfish.

So you can see you idea society is instrinsically unstable and non-self perpetuating.

I would make it mandatory that all smart folk make an occasional trolling post in order to keep the rest of us wankers alert. Argue
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

It is not silly at all.

What is silly is the greed that exists in this world.

If people truly care about other people, they take care of them without any kind of incentive.
I thought you wanted to change the law, not all of human nature.
