Jesus, the abundancy of idiocy never ceases to amaze me. I will try to keep this short as your reading comprhension seems to be failing.
U said: When everyone is dirt poor everybody is equal and communism works. I gave an fine example of democratic civilization where property did not exist as we know it and which was fairly egalitarian. This civ was large (i assumed you knew that) by that times standard. So i refuted your claim. Either accept, answer in kind or of GTFO.
U said: Your needs are finite and you dont need shit because you live in florida. And you think that needs are part of wants, but wants were infinite so that seems to make no sense to me. And when you are suicidal you dont need anything? For that you get my special retard medal! All people who are starving in the world are suicidal, they are hungry because of choice! Or you didnt get that we were talking about larger enteties than you floridian homestead? You are dodging because you cant accept defeat. That makes you weak. Train harder little man.
U said: Not enough to satisfy everybodys need, there are limited resources. This is the first thing that is actually true, but not in the sense you mean it. Resources are limited in a longer timeframe but at the moment we (the human race) produce more than we consume (due to a little thing called competition, i´d like to explain how it works but i doubt that you´d be able to grasp the concept). This is of course not sustainable, but that is a question we will have to deal with later. Peoples needs first i say. And if enough money to make everybody in the world a millionaire is wasted in iraq we surely must live in an abundant world?
U said: Profit must money u idiot! No U.
U said: Capitalism does not read crystal ball about needs! No and i have never said it did, reread if it was not clear. The functionality of capitalism can be evaluated by studying certain criteria, benchmarks we can expect from a mode of production. One such benchmark is development. Another is longievety. A third is poverty and starvation. Freemarket supporters claim all these can be fulfilled by the system itself, yet when it clearly fails they claim that it was somebody elses fault. Capitalism, if it as good as you say, given the affluence we have achieved, should have fulfilled everyones needs by now. The reason it has failed, or rather, why never can succed is that fulfilling needs is not good business. If poor people have aids in a free market they will have aids in eternity. But i guess you would claim that the lazy bastards should invent their own vaccine. And living in florida that is a comfortable opinion. Just remember, all towers fall eventually.
