Maybe i used the wrong term when i said a combination of capitalism and socialism. I meant like Scandinavia, ie freedom to do business, but basic needs are looked after in a way.

So you think pure capitalism is the best system ?

Well, then Im all for it, i just dont want it to be put in place through violence.

@Elliott Business is not what we ultimately desire. But i think freedom is a big one for a lot of people. Thats what a business can give someone, ie the ability to travel to an exotic destination for a holiday if they so choose. (with collective ownership will we reach those levels of prosperity and freedom ?)

Yeah im all for that, but will those people then have the freedom to use their genius and start their own business and become wealthy enough to travel the world ? Socialism seems great to meet basic needs, but then i sense there's some curtailing of freedom in the end. Thats why i still say there must be a practical way to get the best aspects of capitalism and socialism together, while limiting the negative aspects of both.

That doesnt sound like prosperity lol

What's the socialist plan in that regard ?

I prefer a balance of capitalism and socialism, through fair elections. Towns and cities and govern themselves, but there still needs to be some national and international coordination.

The thing is, what will prevent more violent uprisings from dismantling this new socialist utopia ? ie violent uprisings from people who dont like socialism.

@Elliott Rounding up and killing people, sounds like very similar energy to ICE. These socialists need to be careful not to become like the very thing they despise.

And who's going to be in charge after they kill all the Bourgeoise. Who is the leader of these Socialists ?

Well it sounds like @Cred wants to violently overthrow the current government. Which means people will get slaughtered just like in Iran.

I dont think you really want to take on the army.

And what lasting change will you bring through violence ?

Mamdani got voted in without having to resort to violence. You really want to take on the army ?

Violence is definitely not the way forward. There have been violent revolutions before. More people doing real inner work will lead to lasting change. If the universe was material, then violence would be the way, but it's not, it's energetic.

I like that, takes the pressure off and simplifies things. The word God is such a loaded term for most people.

Because different dimensions of the universe are more connected than you think. We not on some island here. What happens here effects the rest of the universe and visa versa.

Journalists being arrested for covering protests in Minnesota. When will this guy finally be impeached and removed ?

Slow down there cowboy, just because it's possible, does not mean it's absolute proof that it actually happened that way. (Yeah I see they used 2 - 3 ton slabs in an experiment in Japan. Would still love to see a thousand dudes move a 100ton slab. It might be exponentially more difficult.)

When the aliens show themselves in the next few years we'll all know the truth Tyson baby (:)

Slaves were working hard on Mars also (:)

Isn't there some evidence of pyramid structures on Mars ?

Where is the evidence of these experiments proving that it's possible ?

The roof of the king's chamber has solid granite beams 50 to 80 tons in weight each. Why dont you guys do a little experiment, get some slaves, and show us how they gonna move something like that.
