Racial make up has the most to do with Norway’s make up. And we are most certainly forced to take immigrant.... why is daca being even debated if we are not forced to take immigration? It's class, not race. If you weren't a racist, you'd realize that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have witnessed the failure of collectives, and here's why it doesn't work: Let's say that I am happy living in a one room shack with an outhouse and a well pump out front, and you on the other hand want a 3,000 SF house with all the amenities. Now the scenario is that we have a 20 acre collective to share crops and to raise tasty critters, the problem is that I am rather lazy and am not really motivated to work hard because my hovel doesn't require to much effort to build and maintain, you on the other hand want this comfy 3000 SF house with running water and flush terlits, and you are willing to bust your ass to make that happen which is cool because we will share the profits of the collective which I will use the proceeds to buy party materials so I can fumble around my hovel in a stupor and to hire party girls for the love that I need......and you know what the good part is? I'll say thank you Moto for giving me the life I want while you just have to grin and bear it while you struggle to attain the lifestyle you desire. 1 hour ago, Snake said: Like I said.

This analysis of yours is basically a variant of the 'capitalism is human nature' argument, which is terribly fallacious and ignorant of actual human history prior to developing agriculture. You want to know the best part about capitalism, though? It will eventually remove all the human labor from the production equation, making work a thing of the past. And you know what happens when there's no work, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just manufacturing, also farming, building, driving, even programming. The logical conclusion of capitalism will be a largely automated means of production, but a market with no money to buy anything produced under such a system, resulting in a massive underclass and massive levels of debt. This will develop into a situation where we have the ability to provide for everyone, but we don't because of a silly social construct like money. This system contains the seeds of its own demise. It will not last into the next century at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a bunch of professions that will remain safe from robotics and machine takeover. Anything that isn't ridiculously repetitive is going to be safe for a long long time.
