Finally! Someone on Steemit addressing the elephant in the room. In my early days on Steemit and discord I got into fierce debates with Anarcho-Capitalists (which, let’s face it, is already a contradiction in terms) who claim that privatization was the key to the end of environmental destruction and human economic slavery, but that notion is actually far more pie-in-the-sky than simply relearning how to share, cooperate and support each other.
Anarchy-capitalism cannot work because it is merely an idea formed as a backlash against the modern mainstream Neo-feudalist system we are currently pinned underneath. Just like how the pritikin diet (a precursor to veganism) was merely a backlash against the modern mainstream American diet. It provided some answers, but was ultimately doomed because it was inherently flawed.
No political system will ever work. Big statement right? Let me quantify why.
No political system can ever work if there is no evolution of consciousness as it’s foundation.
The communes you’ve mentioned are rest examples of this. The participants at least have evolved their ‘mine’ indoctrination into a mutually beneficial ‘sharing’ belief in order to function within the community.
Anyway, could rave for hours on this.
Fabulous post, as usual, mate.
