The problem isn't with communism, the problem is that humans are inherently greedy. It's a wonderful idea and would be a great thing to have, it's just that humans fail really hard at understanding the idea of working for a greater good.

Humans arn't inherently greedy, they're inherently self motivated, it's just in animals nature to push ahead of the pack, thats why a good government is based around that ideal, and that is why communism is flawed.

Frankly, I'm okay with capitalism, but only on a small-scale, family-run business sort of thing. Strictly no monopolization.
Plus as I allways say to anarchist ppls, anarchy won't work cause someone will form a gang/group/tribe/clan/government and take over, simple as that...

In Somalia, this is prevented through polycentric lawhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycentric_law.
I'm not saying that I'm in favor of anarchy, I'm just tired of the same old arguments used against it over and over again.

The problem is that humans built their rule over their problems- proverbially building a temple over a sewer. End eventually the weight of the building over it's unstable foundation will cause it to collapse. There have been a few relativly minor collapses previously. How long though till the sewer caves in though?

The best solution is to simply (or not so simply) build somewhere else and start from scratch. Otherwise you'll keep rebuilding and rebuilding the same flawed thing over and over again till the end of the universe.

It helps distance one from pointlessness and giving an impartial view(sometimes), while at the same time hindering attempts at action.
This year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practise ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people. - C.S. Lewis
