(parecon) I'll talk a little more about this when I finish reading.<BR/><BR/>onelove<BR/>- BerniceBhttp://waxingpoetic.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707687433317733635.post-47818630130005080282008-11-14T13:27:00.000-08:002008-11-14T13:27:00.000-08:00this is a good read.<BR/><BR/>i didnt know about Brazil's emphasis on alternative fuels. that's pretty interesting. but that does explain the destruction of the rain forest. kind of a catch 22.<BR/><BR/>its very hard for the US to follow the Kyoto protocol cuz our growth is so exponential and focused on industries that create way too much pollution. it would need an immense amount of money and effort to change it all, and capitalism isn't willing to go that far to save a few trees. we're digging our own graves, sadly.<BR/><BR/>so i learned communism never existed. yes, no country has ever become communist. they may have declared themselves so, but structurally they were never able to make the socialist transition into communism. in argentina, there are workers who took over factories once the owners left because it wasn't profitable. they started to operate on their own, everyone gets paid the same. everyone has the same stake and a vote in operations. an incentive economy works, but you need to focus the incentive on need rather than profit. socialism is where everything's owned by the state. communism is where everything's owned by the people. apparently there's never been a nation where its infrastructure and economy is owned solely by the people.<BR/><BR/>i think the greatest fallacy is that people think the market will always be self correcting. it can be, but not in a consumer driven society. if we become savers rather than spenders, knowledgeable rather than ignorant, active rather than passive, it would work. but as of now, that's not the case. markets fail, and the people who believe it will self-correct are being disillusioned by the fact that maybe they can make capitalism work for them. sorry folks, but at this pace, we work for capitalism.<BR/><BR/>i didn't know you can build dams in simcity. i usually get nukes or satellite power.SuJason25http://www.blogger.com/profile/14452127516170437866noreply@blogger.com
