Or we could be doing asteroid mining and getting raw materials from off-planet.
Marx and Lenin never wrote about that because they both died a century ago.
-
And we would continue to centralize and give power to fewer and fewer hands, when we could provide much better living standards for all.
-
You're ignoring the part where I said everyone has a high standard of living.
-
We don't live in that theoretical fantasy world, and moreover that still does not logically justify allowing a small handful of people to live like gods. I am talking about reality, not a dream you had.
-
lol!
Look who is talking about dreaming.
Have a nice day and don't hold your breath until the revolution.
-
Revolution has already happened in quite a few countries, one of them with one of the largest economies and populations on the planet. It's more a matter of time.
-
So, while we wait for the inevitable revolution, why not bring back the New Deal?
-
It wouldn't be terrible if it happened, but there's no path to actually making that happen that wouldn't make more sense to go for revolution. Even when congress was more controlled by the Democrats, no such program emerged.
-
Now you're saying the New Deal never existed?
-
No, I'm not. The conditions that led to the New Deal are entirely different from the conditions of today, so we must reexamine if such a program could be forced into passing today. I don't believe there's a path to that, unless there is already revolutionary pressure bubbling and risking the entire system.

There's the problem right there. You're ready to throw away any progress because it isn't perfect
You guys saw Ronald Reagan, but couldn't get behind Carter because he wasn't good enough.
Same with Bush and Gore, and Clinton and Trump.
You guys are the biggest friends the Right ever had.
Heck, go back to the 1930s. The Fascists then labeled themselves Anti-Communist and reaped the rewards.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. That's all you have. good intentions.

because they both died a century ago.
The idea of replacing all on world mining with magic sci-fi technology is exactly as implausible now as it was a century ago.
-
If we'd had Al Gore as President we'd have had an extra $5 trillion to use on this tech.
