I'm afraid I have some bad news for you: Even if you provide every single person on the planet with everything they could ever possibly need or desire, crime and disorder will still exist. People will always commit crimes. People will always want to hurt each other, for some reason or another. It doesn't matter if they live in a penthouse suite made of pure gold--people will be people, and inevitably somebody is going to want someone dead.xeed said:I am not an anarchist.

Off topic, this Xeed guy needs to lighten up and stop trying to espouse his silly anarchistic agenda.
1. people need food, water, energy, etc.
2. sharing all resources and knowledge allows maximum cooperative efficiency
3. creating an abundance of all our needs makes money, gov, crime obsolete
4. automating the production distribution, frees up humanity to no longer be wage slaves to governments or corporations
These four points would be recognized by direct democracy that is connected by the internet; 99% of the world's problems would quickly evaporate.
Also, if money is obsolete, why on earth would people want to work? Why would anyone want to spend time helping to maintain these facilities and fix things when they break beyond the point that automated systems can repair them? Who will continue to learn and know about what runs these automated facilities, in case something needs to be replaced or upgraded.
Oh, and that's another thing: what about technological development? How does that fit into your utopian society? Do these fully automated facilities that apparently find and gather raw materials, process them, and ship them with no human oversight necessary even in the most catastrophic meltdown situations, what about growth? Can they build buildings too? Can they be altered and changed by users to fit their needs?
And now that has got me wondering: What happens if, say, all of this does exist and nobody is required to actually learn to maintain the facilities and be obligated to help when things break (since, you know, jobs, government, and money don't exist) and some yahoo decides to sabotage it. For no reason at all, for shits and giggles. For the "Lulz," if you will. Catastrophic meltdowns everywhere, and nobody knows how to fix anything because nobody is required or expected to do anything. What then? A total collapse of society?
Oh, wait. I bet that will be anticipated by the big facilities too, right? To stop and prevent the actions of saboteurs. But...wait a minute...that sounds a lot like a government, doesn't it? Hm...
BUT! Who am I kidding. You're just bein' a little troll, aren't you? Stirring people up because this LulzSec thing is the hot topic right now. How cute. Either way, they'll be setting sail for jail soon, so we have very little to worry about. Have a good night~
