i think that would work if everyone was giving, charitable, and communal. heck, everywhere in the world is a blur between communism and capitalism. understand that when i say "communism" i mean the ideal, theoretical idea of having everything in common, everyone helping each other. "communism" as it has been used by countries such as russia and china, is just a farce, an excuse for oppression; a critical distinction

i've gotta say though, as much as i'd love to abandon capitalism (and hope to do so to some extent, living with friends and fam. in a communal, semi-agricultural fashion), i think that capitalism is the most feasible way for folks to have a high standard of living (and by that i mean good food, water, health care, and some comfort, not shitloads of fucking hummers) in this world of imperfect folk.

still, i admire where you're coming from
