Thanks xtester for an interesting post. In some circles NEM is accused of being "socialist" which is nothing further from the truth. NEM's equality concept is about equal opportunity not equal outcomes. Hence "we could support the the principle of equal opportunity to give all people a fair chance in life." That's the idea behind community distribution round.[/size]
Totally agree with you, utopianfuture. Now people who think we are socialists can read the post above and understand what we mean when we speak about equality.
In addition to that I think the further NEM will advance, while there will be a lot who will love us, there will always be some people who will continually find something to accuse us of. In the end they will be amazed at our outcome, that's what we'll focus on, that's what will matter.
We should become a paradise for all productive, innovative and ingenuos people.
Btw are you acquainted with the work of nobel laureat in economics and probably the most important psychologist alive, Daniel Kahneman?
NEM accused of being socialist! this is hilarious!!
I agree with our ideas... equal opportunities is a key concept and a fundamental distinction of any reminiscent of central planned economies.
I am actually reading the actual best-seller of the moment; Thomas Picketty and all his idea of r>g as a source of inequality. In this context, NEM can be a key tool to equally distribute the capital (stakes), we are creating a complete "new economy" in which the capital, as well as the labour force is not concentrated. Thus, everyone has the opportunity to on the one hand "invest" and obtain capital return and second, to use the labour force to create conditions of increasing wealth.
I'm looking forward to the moment that we can give a very relevant step in the consolidation of the movement, which is the possibility to connect NEM with the "real world" (merchants, local trade, etc); there will be at the ed, the strength of the movement.
