We can use many people, we have computers now.

Many people does not necessarily mean they know everything that is needed. It also unrealistic to expect a computer to solve it. They can only handle what we program it to do.

Basically I don't know of anything that can replace the tool that is called CURRENCY. It as a universal means of exchange becomes a unit much like electricity that can be used to make anything else function without knowing the details.

Quantity of people does not solve all problems. In fact, it can introduce them. It can become very easy for people to give into Appeals to Popularity. The entire "X amount of people believe it is true, or needed, so it must be" is actually a form of logical fallacy. Truth,and facts do not alter because X amount of people want it to be true.

For example: Would an entire stadium full of people have known what the needs and requirements of Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Steve Wozniak/Jobs needed? Not very likely, and those are but a few examples.

Part of "innovation" and "invention" is the fact that someone is doing things other people have not seen before. Quantity of people and computers cannot predict that.

I despise the concept of communism and socialism. I'll admit it freely. I consider them some of the most evil ideologies on the planet. So I am biased, but I was not always that way. It took time, research, introspection, and a lot of thinking, debating, and reading of works recommended by proponents as well as revisiting older works people don't talk about much.

I believe the saying "Good ideas don't require force".

All of the things Communism and Socialism are alleged to solve I believe there is a BETTER way thanks to computers and technology today. Yet, it is better because it can be voluntary (aka choice) based and does not require force, or government mandates. It does require a currency.

It is called crowd sourcing.

Do you have a program that can help people? Crowd source it. Let those who back it benefit. It could also be done so if it is say something YOUR COMMUNITY wants but, mine doesn't then you can fund it for your community while NOT being able to force it upon mine. This is also true of the things I or my COMMUNITY might want. We can fund it, benefit from it, but we can't force it upon you.

We cannot steal from you to fund things that you have no interest in.

And before you go "we gotta help the needy!!"

Do it. Help them. Yet don't do it by FORCING others to provide what you or someone else believes they SHOULD. That is not your choice. It is not my choice.

Also so much of communism and socialism are fueled by Envy, and false equivalencies. They are bad ideas, evil, and cannot exist without force.
