War against terror, climatic changes, economic crisis, pharmaceutical companies who create half-cures to maximise profits, school shooting, bridges collapsing, etc... what if there was a simple solution to all those problems, wouldn't it be nice?
It's time for all the leaders of this world to start talking about a solution to all of life threatening problems and agree on the most efficient solution to save as many human lives as possible. This solution has been found.
Sure there is no perfect solution and there will always be people who aim for other things then happiness but this solution is the closest thing to Utopia since capitalism/communism/socialism.
I'm talking about a resource based economy [http://www.thevenusproject.com/resource_eco.htm].
Let me try to summarise what a resource based economy would be like;
[ol]
[li] There is no money. Everyone get everything they need to live as comfortable as possible from the government for free. ( House, car, bed, table, fridge, oven, washer, dryer, computer, phone, iPod... I hope you get the idea )[/li]
[li] Everyone who wish to work just need to enlist. You get formation for what you wish to accomplish with your life. In the event of mass laziness, robots will be created for the tasks left that needs to be done. People who don't want to or can't work don't have to.[/li]
[li] ... [/li]
[li] Profits. [/li]
[/ol]
There are different opinions about changing all the known economical systems to a Resource-Based Economy but the dominant opinion is not neutrality.
There's the pessimists who think it would resemble something like this.
There's the optimist (Like me) who think it would resemble something like this.
In short, people fighting against a resource based economy are assuming that human nature is inherent. People fighting for it are assuming that human nature isn't inherent but the real question would be "Is it wise to keep a monetary economical system under such circumstances?"
In the last great economical depression our modern society literaly became a shithole where it was less obvious to survive then in the wilderness and many were left to themselves and a good example of this would be the multitude of kids working in coal mines.
All of our current economic systems failed to help us survive as a species a multitude of times... so often that today the whole world is left hungry for change. But the meaning of this "change" is not something that the politicians, the bureaucrats or the aristocrats of your society are going to make because those individual don't really care about anything else then their precious money and if they wish to prove me wrong then ask of them to talk publicly about the many benefits of a resource based economy.
For freedom.
Edit: The whole debate is hypothetical because theoretically it's possible that the war will just end, that the climate will just restore itself to what it used to be, that the economy will just restabilize itself, that the bureaucrats will become more responsible and start to really care about the lives of others, that everyone will stop being lazy go out of boundaries for their salary no matter how much they hate their work, that all the hobos of the world will just find a job, that the third world countries will stop starving to dead and that violence in the world will simply cease... but it's unlikely.
Are you willing to wait and see what will happen or do you guys want to start something that could ultimately save us all?

People fighting for a resource based economy are assuming that human nature isn't inherent and that everyone can live a happy life if all of their needs and desire are being fulfilled while they work for society.
Which one are you?

Of course I'm against drastic changes to society because that would create more pain and suffering then anything else. This is why we should take steps toward a definitive change.
