And that's why Communism, while on paper seems like such a nice idea where we look out for each other, will NEVER work on a functioning basis. Communism is supposed to be the absence of greed, but it's impossible to rewire human brains to work any way other than they are meant to. Humans had to be greedy in order to survive, and a hierarchy needed to exist in order for groups of people to live. We're just hardwired to follow strong leaders and the strong are hardwired to look out for number 1.


The argument (which I don't agree with completely) is that human greed (or the willingness to act on greed, depending on who you talk to) is exemplified or caused by feudal and capitalist needs. *shrug*
It all depends on who you talk to.

I think that greed is the motivator for greed. . .nothing else. People will always want more, no matter what ideals you apply to them.
And this is why the extreme left is such a bitchy little crowd : )
I love them dearly, but anarchists are annoying when you get on the topic of greed! Everyone thinks of it a little differently.
Whatever, it's just a personal opinion. America is not on the verge of an anarcho communist uprising.
