i think it could work on a small scale, or multiple levels of small scale...but all participants must be willing
Volunteering is key, and it does work. If you've ever seen Easy Rider, the commune in that flick, in Taos, NM, is still going strong. Full of Dreadies too, by the way.
I agree with what marx said mostly about the part of his only being an analysis and not a structure, and that it wasnt viable... funny how people ignore that part
i have been studying political science at a university (since some people in this thread think that the only "real" education is one from a university) for several years and what i've learned is that most government is a complete fail. personally i favor small-scale communism i am on government assistance (food stamps) and i get really annoyed with people that use assistance from the government but in the same turn say "fuck the government". so, thanks to all you rich losers that say you're conservative, yet still complain about getting taxed out the ass. you motherfuckers can actually afford to move to a different country if you want. i'll continue to smoke lotsa pot and get my food stamps. fuck you very much!
i am a tech, but i don't work as a tech now because i can't do the physical labor. i have a chronic digestive illness that prevents me from the constant lifting and running around.i still don't make enough to afford food according to the guvment. i thought i'd give it a try and it turns out i qualified!!! whoo hoo! i'm thinking about getting medical assistance too since i am still paying off a doctors visit i had 6 months ago. i for one, love the idea of socialized health/
im in the same boat...kind of...i was in an autopedestrian accident when i was fifteen and my back, neck, knees are all kinds of fucked up and i live in constant pain but ive never felt that it has stopped me from working, but my docs tell me that it will. i'l be using a cane or a walker by the time im 30-35 so i have a feeling im going to either change careers and work in an office or something...or get on some sort of disability benefits...but im really not wanting to collect government benefits because i am politically opposed to it...but my pride may wear down and i might have to just give in.
There is nothing wrong with getting help from the government when you need it, unless you are a corporation.
i just have a problem with getting help from the government if there is any other way i can provide for myself. i dont want to resign myself to letting other people's taxes take care of me because i have a fucked up back. i would feel like a mooch
well, think about it like this, np. the taxes that go towards helping you come directly from the pocket of the idiot driver who hit you. how's the detox going?
detox is good. i had a beer last night and i've been smoking all week but other than that im clean. and the guy that hit me was on coke at the time. i sued the shit out of him, he had to sell his store, and he basically paid for my college. but that's all depleted now and i have to work for a living
you really shouldn't feel bad. but, i know. it's about your personal philosophy. but working yourself into a condition where you can't work doesn't make much sense either.
Smart as you are NP, you'll be using your mind to make money by then. I can't promise anything, but my next project may require some online assistance, and I could use some help with it, if you're interested...
