    Yup, we should all just ditch the modern world with modern conveniences and technology as well as ANY of the current governments and go back to being nomadic tribesmen living off the land. That would take us back to a natural order of things, any other solution is just self-protective rationalization, doomed to failure, on the part of the chump.When we can all live simply and depend on each other, then we don't need money, government or class. When we all live with less, then there is no scarcity.

    Til then we've all got bills to pay and blood to let in every aspect of life.
    Bitcoin isn't the answer.
    Credit isn't the answer.
    Debt isn't the answer.
    That leaves trading.
    If you really want to eliminate a world that generates crapitalism,communistosis, socialist diseases and any other number of competitors for supremacy amongst cockroaches, we need to release some imagined needs and grow some brains.
    See that happening?
    We can't get past " DAD!, ROBBIE STOLE MY FRIES!" in our homes,round the globe. How are you going to balance the load for a world of strangers?
    Most people couldn't survive a week without their current belongings. No knowledge of how to feed or clothe themselves without a government as a go between for mass trading.

              So we adapt as our ancestors did without the answer either. We cheat, lie, con, finagle and it can get so bad that you steal, mug, burgle,injure and could possibly kill, dependent on circumstances. All classes, with their own perspective on what level of living constitutes survival. Even non-capitalist governments are vampires depleting their constituents. Two classes there Government/Non government, predator/prey, parasite/victim.
    Sad. True.

    All this info, just lying around, in case they need it. They wanna see what kind of home improvement crap I bought, what brand of tortilla chips I eat, where I gas up at, when I occasionally call on the phone, perhaps they'd like a scratch n sniff X-ray of my colon before I had a polyp removed. Maybe they'd like to hear the last obnoxious joke I told with the punchline of Hillary carrying Obamas two headed love child to term before marinating it in jalepeno barbeque sauce.

    I'm pretty boring, and I hate and distrust the charlatans misusing the government, like any other human on the planet. But it's nice to see that one day they will have spent everything I ever paid in taxes on hardware to store my unused trivia.

    I bought comics, back when they were cool.
    One pariah, producers of art should make note of is; watch what happens when you mix political statements with art; it fades to obscurity faster than if you'd produced art based on other themes. Examples: WWII Warner Bros. Cartoons, Folk Music, Viet Nam Documentaries, Jane Fondas Career, Pearl Jam, old punk albums, election buttons and the list goes on and on and on. Politics and art are an infamously bad combination.

              Equality between the sexes has been a hot political topic for decades. THORina isn't going anywhere but away.
    You might make note that religion comics aren't generally found double bagged with astronomical collectors prices, either.
