Unless everyone in a region wants socialism (or communism), it can't work, and the bigger a region gets the more impossible it gets to have everyone want socialism, especially if it is forced upon them. The reality of any given redistribution scheme, is that it exists at the grace and mercy of those being redistributed from. The alternative, of course, is guillotines, but the critical flaw in eating the rich is figuring out who to eat tomorrow. Yeah it could probably work if an AI developed advanced enough to automate redistribution, but then we'd end up getting dystopias lul. Who truly knows how dystopic it will be in actual practice though? I think humans will feel self-fulfilled enough to not care that their role ends up largely out of their ambitions --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://i.imgtc.com/7dRrfE1.jpg <cite>legendarylemur posted [p:924868638] in philosophy...
