Well, maybe because i wish so much the world would be better i get a little too excited about that whole idea at start, but cold reflecsion about the subject made me feel that we're really far away from that kind of social system, if its not beyond our reach.
How the guys said in film, its all because we've raised in society based on competition, and you have to compete to achieve something in your life. Competition means you need to win your fights with others on many leves of your life to get food, stuff you need, place to live etc. That means that you have to be better than others, but you can do it by developing yourself or by , but that also means that you can stay the same if people you fight will get worse. They made some researches and from their researches it occures that people dont want money or power - they want things that comes after it, like luxury, wellbeing etc. (sorry for my english).
You see, the main idea of that project is to make everybody wealth (it means, wealth in various goods they demand) by using technology which suppose to eliminate greed, abuse, slavery(in many ways we got it these times). If everyone got they demands fulfilled, they wont be needing to have powers over other people. Of course, it sounds like dream, but its dream i could believe in, i'm not naive though, dont think, i know how people are these days. It wont be able to make it for long long time, but the key is good education of young people so they can understand this planet is for everyone and raising them in culture of respect for others. Thats the first step, and maybe in long future we will succeed.
The idea is to not give this kind of governmental system by strenght, but make people willing it.
About communism: Of course i dont forget about humanity last falses, I know that it didnt worked out in XX century, but look now - we got way to communicate with whole world, we can travel almost everywhere in one day. Technology changes a lot imo, and educated people arent easy to manipulate. Educated and well raised people makes that kind of society in XX(?)century possible (dont know which century, though).
About democracy: Its not that good as you say. Lot of corruption in the governments caused by politicians greed makes this wheel going to crush. Also, world global debt is raising in great speed because of borrows - and countries can only borrow more money from banks, which will result in that situation in near future: bankers will have most of the money, people will not be able to buy anythings and we will start barter again. Good look with barter trade in our times... :sick:
Oh, and i almost forgot to say: Ok, you can say that human history says: "we're always fighting and competing" but i think its wrong to say that this is human nature or nature of the mankind. Humanity is beyond instincts from when they aquired the knowledge how to make fire, and of course, we're part of the nature and instincts and feelings are the important part of every one of us (except sociopaths, thats about feelings
), but who would not like to live in wealth? Like the guy in film said, we're under huge influence of the culture we're raising in. And there are a really lot of people on the world who are a good people and would like to help ones who didnt had the luck of born in wealth countries like we and i dont think they would mind spend the time on togheters work to make world better.
Also, the first thing the guy in the film said is that it cant work till everyone is satisfied with the goods they got - otherwise we will be still fighting each other for goods.
