If it's not the CIA it will be a coup from some smart ass****e high ranked in the military/party.
Humans are to greedy to live in a socialist peaceful world.
-
That doesn't make any sense, though, greed has a larger impact on Capitalist systems as its the main mover and driver.
-
Yes, exactly! For all the noxious effects of greed, it drives competition which drives evolution.
Even if a utopian communist/anarchist society were able to stabilize on its own, it would inevitably be overcome at some point in the future by a more competitive society that had martially evolved beyond the utopia's understanding.
Whether its right or wrong has no bearing on the entropy of it.
-
Marxists are anything but utopian, and I think you’ve bought into the just-so stories of bourgeois ideologues like von Mises, Hayek, Rothbart, and Greenspan.
-
To the contrary, competition eliminates its own existence, eventually all markets will coalesce into large trusts that can be publicly owned and planned.
-
Well, competition has been going pretty strong for the last four billion years; time will tell.
-
Not exactly, it's increasingly disappearing in favor of monopoly.
-
The health of the current system is undenianly declining, absolutely. But competition is eternal and non-optional, so systems that seek to eliminate it are intrinsically doomed.
-
Competition can't be eternal, otherwise monopoly wouldn't exist.
-
Just because competition can be suppressed temporarily within a discrete system doesn't mean it has ceased to exist. Exactly why ideologies that demand the absence of competition will eventually be outcompeted from the outside.
-
It's not about being temporary, production becomes so complicated and wide-reaching that it must become planned and publicly owned.

Have you considered a world where power is based in social welfare instead of capital?
-
Would be nice, but it just never going to happen.
We've been there already.
-
So no, you haven't.
-
Literally any socialistic country turned in a shitty dictatorship. Do you still need further investigations?
The biggest example is China. They opened to capitalism in order to let the greedy comrades survive in their power and what you have know? Chinese are free to earn tons of money, but not to say what they think.
It's the biggest paradox of the world.
In the biggest socialist country capitalism is tollerated more then free speech.
