Oh, one of those “real world” arguments where it’s ok for example to spend crazy billions on weapons (especially those of mass destruction) that will fingers crossed never be used but in the “real world” decent water, food, energy is far too much to provide. It’s a question of priorities. Next you’ll be telling me that in the “real world” an NHS is not possible.
mmm yeah the messy real world in which we live, the one that has no built-in justice or fairness, in fact the only unchanging law is that the strong have dominion over the weak. That real world, yes. It seems you are acquainted with it.
We are not masters of it. We are very much at its mercy just like all the other creatures on the planet. Care and thoughtfulness is needed when attempting to design and implement public systems that deliver justice and fairness and are sustainable over the long-term.
Who is it that you think is providing “justice and fairness”? Our capitalist masters or their client politicians or media? O, to live in such a world where the ruling classes care for us poor people at their mercy.
