I reply one more time, because I want to
share this link about what Hitler did that was initially perceived as a great accomplishment for the people.
Also I didn't expect CoinCube would miss my point that the needs for socialism have diminished. We needed socialism because we lived in physical challenges in agricultural and industrial ages. But this is all going to change so radically now. I don't think you all are comprehending how thoroughly this Knowledge Age will alter society.
CoinCube, I appreciate your efforts and the points you raised. Indeed I agree with you about the abstract math and model of adaptation, but I think you are misapplying it w.r.t. socialism and incorrect about the utility of socialism in the knowledge age. I think humans were stuck with this form of society (after tribalism) during the physical ages, but now we move to virtual reality age (where the most value will be produced).
CoinCube, we both agree that failure to converge will occur if a dynamic system is entirely undamped aka unconstrained, because the actions of the individual actors will not find any (or sufficient) mutual information aka coherence.
However, I did not propose 100% anarchism. I have stated numerous times that even with a decentralized, anonymous currency the government can continue to tax businesses that have a physical presence, which provides for a transition period from now to 2032. Beyond 2032, there will still be frictional barriers in the Knowledge Age that give rise to corporations, yet I believe these will be leaner and smaller because knowledge can spread fast to competitors with positive scaling laws without a need for slow (non-specialized, dimwitted, entrenched, vested interests) stored capital as in the industrial age, thus self-limiting not leading to monopolies, cartels, and fascism. Socialism does not smooth fitness rather defeats fitness (e.g. retards technological adaptation, c.f. the repeating 78 year technological unemployment cycle and Oxford's prediction of 47% job displacement coming) because the Coasian barriers increase over time without limit (until society is destroyed, tax exceeds the Laffer limit) due the power vacuum.
As far as I can see, large scale socialism (not Dunbar congruent tribalism or family clans) was necessary only because we had no other way to provide physical security for industry and rebalance capital allocation away from tycoons who would otherwise concentrate all capital in the industrial age (because rich spend fraction of their income on consumption whereas middle class consume a significant chunk of their income, and the rich can capture the government). We now
have a new technology to do this, thus I posit
socialism is a relic that will no longer be needed once society adjusts to the knowledge age.
Agriculture did not flourish until both roads and physical security were developed. Being naturally bound together in collectives to effect these necessary requirements. The
Knowledge Age changes the requirements. Roads and physical security become irrelevant when everything it is by wire virtual reality. A ha! The epiphany should hit you now.
Blabberlicious, my point was Eric should respect my emotions as not irrational because they play a role in evolutionary fitness and he is an inconsistent hyprocrite for (standing on a high horse of 100% rationality and) wanting anarchism (aka individualism) and simultaneously calling for a strong US military (government) and (tax) funding of weapons to change the cultures he doesn't like top-down. I have no anarchist criticism of "do good" Westerners after the $150 trillion is written down and they are thus funding that from their own individual sweat, not other people's money which was stolen with taxes & debt gone wild.
Debt = future taxation, as all you westerners will soon see. You do realize you all will be paying the $150 trillion don't you?
That is perhaps unless you buy+mine the anonymous coin anonymously.

The 1988 Economist magazine article predicted the unveiling of the one-world global currency in 2018. Looks like the elite are right on track with their plan.

Enslaving the Next GenerationI’m 31, and like most graduates of graduate schools, I have student loans.
1) What will happen to our generation who seem to be getting more and more stuck in student loan debt, which is backed by the federal government? Will the government forgive it? Or will we just be a generation in bondage, as American higher education is the most expensive it has ever been in history?
2) Furthermore – did the Roman Empire do anything similar to the younger generation to enslave them in debt?
As far as debt –
this has NEVER been done to a generation to my knowledge. It is part of the New Deal – Marxist-Socialistic agenda that sounded good, but in the end, it is proving to be a total disaster.
One example with student debt that has proven devastating comes from Britain. The government needed cash so they sold all student loans for 25%. The government got cash and totally screwed the students. Now private companies are out trying to collect 100% of what is owed. The government never gave the students the ability to pay off their loans at 25% of their face value. Students are being hunted down even when they live in foreign lands. Wherever they are, they are being hunted down by debtor collectors.
The entire system of education is a disaster. It is bloated with nonsense and has proven to be a failure with not just 60% unable to find jobs in what they paid for, but the debts they have amassed are burdensome and is reducing their standard of living going forward.
