    in other ways than forcing people to work

    Great, show me the country that has a working, sustainable implementation of that. The share of people that will take out more from any kind of society than they put in is too large for any group to work without at least some pressure to enforce that equilibrium.

      Yep. That is what people always said towards societal change

      • Abolishing slavery won’t work, who would do the work?
      • Health insurance cannot work
      • Social security cannot work
      • Automation will not work, everybody is going to starve
      • …

      You know, the state has crazy influence on its citizen. Where? In school. But the whole educational system is not build on community, solidarity and compassion. It’s build on competition. And when you finish some 9-13 years of competition, is it strange that you end up looking for your own advantage? I doubt it. And that kind of education is eradicated magically if we then force people to rob through mud one year and further teach them how to kill? Yep, that’ll work 😅
