    The ultimate goal of capitalism is to make trade with one another easier, nothing more. Any problem with capitalism should be recognized as the fault of government creating money out of thin air.

    Communism requires leadership of some kind to enforce the equality. Even if not the bees and ants weren't working for their queen, they still work for the collective entirety of the bee hive or the ant hill. The reason communism works in ant hills is because ants have no unique qualities about them. They do not have specific wants and needs that separate themselves from the others. All ants have the same belief: live, work, and die for the colony. People all have different beliefs and opinions. Our opinions cause us to make choices in life.

    How did ants enter into a discussion about capitalism? There is no one world society of ants, they exist in colonies, sometimes war with other colonies, killing or enslaving those captured. They have no individual property, and no high tech businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, government and regulatory agencies, or belongings to protect other than the colony itself. They also pay no taxes. They simply are born, exist for a while and die, the same as early humans once did and still do, but with the production of many things which require the labour of many people who each expect some remuneration for their participation at various stages of production which is the point of capitalism. If we were to eliminate capitalism, what would replace it and what else would need to be eliminated, including the jobs they provide, as a result?
