Society has proved time and time again we are incapable of this

We were incapable of everything until we did it. People couldn’t imagine an economy that didn’t involved Lords and Serfs yet here we are. Slavery was the only and natural way, until it wasn’t. We still need hierarchies and a system, just saying we can adjust this to create a more reasonable and socially beneficial situation.

Sure people like you and I can and are willing to do what needs to be done for the better of all but most don’t. Most only care about themselves and that’s why it will never work and also the reason things are the way they are today.

Vast majority of people are not nakedly greedy at the cost of others. Most live by fairly decent value systems. The small minority who don’t share any of that happen to have massive amounts of money and ability to bribe entire government. The keys to our collective cuffs are right in front of us, we are just too scared to unlock ourselves.

I just feel regardless of how many genuine people with good morales there are there will always be enough to ruin it for everybody else. What do we do when everybody is doing there role but Steve on the corner doesn’t wanna share his harvest with the town, but he expects to be allowed to take from other peoples contributions without contributing any of his own. What do we do then? There has to be rules , there has to be a system, their has to be a hierarchy or it will NEVER work.
