Exactly! Tahnk you for pointing that out. That is the beauty of this whole thing.
Who wants to clean shit off the toilet? Maybe with an economy with great control by the "janitors" there would be more money spent on developing mechanized cleaning machines. Robots if you will.
We don't like to clean shit. Robots don't mind.
We need the economy to be structured where it innovates products the free people from inhumane jobs.
There's nothing inherently wrong with capitalism, and much that is very good, since it tends to regulate itself pretty well. But it does need government checks from time to time, so it's important to have a strong government as well.
Capitalism is inherentantly wrong because of the ill concieved notion of profit and capital. A company can make a nice profit for itself, but destroy the enivronment worth 10x that profit. The real world loses ie the People, but the company prospers.
I Don't think I explained my self well... Governements of course must be involved. All economies are planned. But I was pointing to the example of Communisms in the past where the government has complete control of the economy. This stifled innovation.
Even capitalism is directed by governments. And now threatening innovation also.
The economies of the past and present are ran by the upper class elite.
In The Soviet Union the economy was ran by the governement, but the government was ran by the upper class elite.
In capitalism, the government is heavily influeneced by the elite, because the economy is ran by the elite.
My point being, we must implement an economic model that diminishes the presence of a class society. An economic model that doesn't let the children of the rich sit on their fat asses and control the world without ever earning it.
Socialism, communism, capitalism. These are all dogmas that have no meaning to what I am saying.
In ways I suppose it is a hybrid of socialism and capitalism. But instead of a government running the economy as in communisms of the past, the people themselves will run the economy. In ways, capitalism tried this, but capitalism gave the power to run the economy to the elite, the those who possess the masses of capital(the suppossed risk takers) give it to their children. This creates a society of classes. Rich having righ children. Poor having poor children.
A Government ran economy also cuts down on innovation. You have to have the drive of personal gain. But you have to construct an economic system where this goal also achieves other goals, such as quality of life, free time, health care progress, etc.
A system that would spread out wealth more so than capitalism but not enough so that there is no drive to innovate, is needed.
When you die your money goes to the public to be divided. This process is could be open source is the governemnt is open.
ie. We just need to rething the whole basis of economics.
.There are numerous examples, the gift economy for one.(very interesting), fully co-opted corporations, no large inheritances would keep the wealthy from making their kids wealthy.
.Im talking about a true meritocracy, not the bullshit of our capitalism as it stands. We need to move into the new age of economic interaction
What is an open-sorce economy?
I started asking myself.
Its an economy that is open an available to any who have a good idea. One that is for the many and not the few.
It is an economy that isn't controlled purely by faces we never see.
It is an economy that does'nt hide the powerty is creates by putting it in third world.
We have reached the point where we have the technology, the political and economic theory, and the moral dignity to leave our chains and start the utopia.
Do you have an automated commercial cutter to save cd-rw space? Or are you just fast forwarding(not too inconvenient)
Seems you could UP the quality of the recording dramaticly if you cut the commercials out before recording, knowing that commercials take up 1/3 of every hour of TV programming.
1984. good book dat.
Wasn't that the one that taught us to love the government because they love us too, and will care for us like we were but tini-babes?

Let me make it redundant for everyone.

These things can be done.

The entire way we run our economy is un-workable. C'mon guys and gals, lets implement our open-source economy and government.
