Include both good and bad morals, habits, views, etc.
Traffic would be very efficient. Climate change would be addressed immediately. Billionaires would not exist for very long.
A millionaire once was asked “How did you become a millionaire?”
He said: “Oh, it was, simply, because of my wife”
“Well, I see. And what have you been before?”
“A billionaire.”
Booooouuuuuuuh 👎
All economies collapse immediately.
Why would that be?

No fucking clue, which is why I asked dumbass.
- Streets would begin getting ripped up in favor of public transit
- Queer, disabled, and indigenous rights (mandatory blue hair for everyone! /s)
- All drugs decriminalized, weed and psychedelics legalized but regulated. Addiction treated like a medical/policy issue rather than a criminal issue.
- Billionaires taxed into nonexistence. Anything over $10M taxed at 99%. All of that money would be funneled into schools, healthcare, and public works.
- Promoting fascism would be treated as a hate crime
- Universal healthcare and UBI
- Union and immigrant rights that favor people over corporations
You have my vote!
No. More trees!
Sure thing boss
I’m pretty sure that the world would have a lot of problems, since everyone would want to do the same things I would, which isn’t really what the world needs…
Good luck affording concert tickets when every single person in the world wants to go to that show.
And when the musicians don’t want to be performers!
Religion membership drops to zero overnight. No more war, rape, or child abuse. No child will be born ever again. Landlords, billionaires, and capitalism vanish immediately. Total economic collapse. Infrastructure decays immediately and billions starve.
Just being realistic…
I think I’m a pretty kind and outgoing person. I’m also decidedly socialist, pretty much at eat the rich levels. So I think the world would change for the better, get some huge taxation going on the mega rich and funding for stuff like UBI. Dramatic shifts to renewable energy. People would probably stop killing each other. I can’t imagine doing that to someone else not in self defence.
I commute to work by bicycle and think cars are useful but good public transport is better so that is probably handy.
Down sides I’m a habitual comfort eater and love food so the obesity problem might get worse.
Oh we are fucked
The good kind, or the bad kind?

Everyone stops eating meat, dairy at once causing a huge collapse of industry and supply chain jobs. Farms haven’t had time to switch use to plants only causing starvation.
No new giant projects are launched because, everyone wants to sit and relax and deal with current issues while sipping a drink on the porch.
Public transit is overloaded as everyone realizes everyone owning a car is a ridiculous and wasteful idea.
First, the struggle to make sure everyone has enough food, shelter, clothes, etc.
Then we have to get people to do the jobs no-one wants to do. Either we automate them or make the job tolerable. Until then, we might rotate workers in and out of duty, spreading the discomfort.
Then we have to adjust to the increased demand for some resources. Just as plumbing increased the demand for water (but also vastly improved living conditions) so will many other resources follow. Getting it all going while keeping it sustainable will be tricky.
And then, someday, maybe centuries later, post-scarcity communism. And according to the Fourth International–Posadists, this will be a prerequisite before we colonize space, or other worlds.
I think, once we regard greed and power consolidation as a treatable illness, human society can do this. But I don’t yet comprehend a complete path from here to there.
Everyone keeps saying ‘no, after you’ and no one manages to get through any doorway as a result and we all die of starvation/exhaustion.
This is too real. As a Canadian, we would also say sorry as well during this process.
Oh my! A truely democratic socialist global union like Kurt Eisner envisioned? Where you work to bring forth humanity and not for self enrichment? One where its nice to life as an adhd autist and we all have viable public transport instead of privat cars? Everything is discussed and no hypocracy?? AND CITYS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND WHIMSICAL AND LIFE IS CELEBRATED?! SIGN ME UP!!
The world would be a lot more funny and a little less efficient.
Oh, but the memes!
- So much open source software.
- Dedicated protected skateboard lanes in all roads.
- No more corporate mergers, of any kind or size But first, all restaurants are Taco Bell.
Everyone sees everyone else as reflections of themselves, one soul in billions of subtly different vessels. Naturally we’ve achieved full communism, since everyone sincerely wants to help each other and make the world a better place. Everyone is against waste and pollution, sustainability becomes a universal goal. Meat production is phased out, professional sports rapidly decline in popularity, entire industries disappear basically overnight. Militaries obviously become unnecessary. Science and scholarship are of the highest value, every community is walkable with at least one library and large-scale makerspace/research facility.
Basically a solarpunk utopia.
