    If it’s not the CIA it will be a coup from some smart ass****e high ranked in the military/party.

    Humans are to greedy to live in a socialist peaceful world.

      That doesn’t make any sense, though, greed has a larger impact on Capitalist systems as its the main mover and driver.

        Yes, exactly! For all the noxious effects of greed, it drives competition which drives evolution.

        Even if a utopian communist/anarchist society were able to stabilize on its own, it would inevitably be overcome at some point in the future by a more competitive society that had martially evolved beyond the utopia’s understanding.

        Whether its right or wrong has no bearing on the entropy of it.

          To the contrary, competition eliminates its own existence, eventually all markets will coalesce into large trusts that can be publicly owned and planned.
