To End Racism and Police Brutality, End Capitalism!

178. Which people? Because the collective will never come to true consensus on anything specific.

Don't believe me? Get 5 people together and ask them to come up with a consensus pizza with 4 toppings. Any system, ANY system, no matter how much it idealizes and strives for pure fairness of distribution, will succumb to the fact that different humans have different priorities and capacities and charisma and ambition. Hierarchies and schisms will develop regardless of the energy and enthusiasm of proper Marxists.

The biggest problem we face is concentrations of power. Whether "capitalist" or "socialist" or whatever "-ist", monopolies are destructive. What you are advocating is trading capitalist parasites for the Marxist parasites that will inevitably infest the bureaucracy.

The experience of Marxist governments demonstrate that widespread black markets will develop. A draconian security apparatus becomes necessary to combat the natural human impulse to conduct commerce as simply and efficiently as possible.

What is needed is diluted, widespread private enterprise with ethics and practices guided by fairness, respect for agreements, and respect for quality and accomplishment.
