    If I could point toward actual socialist governments not based on exploitation (rather than Scandinavia) I would. But it really is just a hypothetical idea at this point.

    I’ve never been optimistic enough to believe the libertarian/anarchic theories work on any scale above small communities. Anytime I discuss egalitarian and anarchic societies I can’t get beyond the point of humans are intrinsically greedy andviolent which that collapses the system.

      There you go, now you can point towards a socialist government not based on exploitation! (USSR).

      “Humans are greedy… That’s why we should have a system in which the greedy people can become ultra rich and use their money to exploit the not so greedy people”.
