One might say it's better than a system where everyone starve...
Which system are you speaking of?
Systems without exploitation
Are you actually arguing exploitation is necessary? That any system treating all people fairly will result in everybody starving?
Feel free to let others exploit you, I will keep trying for the fair system
Do you know of example of a thriving human society not based on exploitation?
Do you think humans can never try something new?
Sure they can, but it's an imaginary future right now...
Yes, trying something new does require imagining a future where that new thing is going on. Your point?
There's no example of a thriving system not based on exploitation. You might imagine one, people imagine it for thousands of years, but it's. ... imaginary
You seem unable to understand the concept of 'new.'
Recently created?
I'm sure you understand the definition. I'm not sure you understand the concept based on your previous posts.
Yeah I do believe that a world wide social democracy with pockets of very small scale democratically run distributed communism. But that's as simplicit as thinking that 100% pure free market will take care of everything. And anyway you'll need some way to enforce it
This is not the best we can do and anyone who believes it is must have a very defeatist and cynical attitude towards humanity.
Why would a system without exploitation be worse rather than better? Can you give an example from the real world, or is this hypothetical?
Is that system in the room with us right now? 🙄
