What would you do if the grocery store you went to was closed? What would you do if the clothing store you went to was closed? What would you do if the bar or club you went to was closed? What would you do if the doctor or hospital you went to was closed? What would you do if the pharmacy or dealer you went to was closed? What would you do if your money was no good?
What if you got exactly what you wanted: a society with no incentive-based industriousness and trade? How would you survive? How would you thrive? Would your spirituality carry you through? Would your socialistic society labor each from what they could produce and give to each what they need?
Or would you start to do or make the things you use and value? Would there be other homesteaders to barter with? How would you trade with others if you did make your own goods or services? What if there was no gas for your car or truck? Or tractor? Would you tame animals to use? Horses? Oxen? Would your services be useful?
Would you rise to the occasion? Would you barter with other homesteaders? Would you start with alcohol and marijuana first? Or food and water?
Or would you buy all the capitalistic marijuana and cocaine and canned food and water you could with capitalistic money? And be unsustainable. Ready for the end? Ready for death…
Would you be hypocritical? Would you try to cheat the system? Would you count on stealing from others’ capitalism?
How long do you think you can last stealing from capitalism? As opposed to participating in creativity and autonomy and trade?
How would your spirituality fare?
Maybe you will get exactly what you wished for…. And tried to force all of us to do…. In the name of a better way. Will you yourself choose that better way? Or will you loot the producers and creators and leech off of the capitalistic system until you start stealing until you start killing and eating people?
Then what will you do? Die? And go to where?
