Like Peter Joseph, you assume those who disagree with your socialist fantasy as being intellectually deficient....

The whole idea of Peter Joseph's philosophy is that the system cannot be based on money. Communist is based on money, fascism is based on money, capitalism is based on money...
Lenin's system was based on money. Marx's system was based on money. North Korea's system is based on money.
Peter Joseph's proposal is not based on money. Are you getting the no money thing?
I think this is your cue to start screaming about EEEVVIIIILL.
off to watch Dr. Love's clips... (I don't expect AJ will ever understand the $29.95 thing... I do hope he doesn't bring it up again)

Edit; I also smoke cigarettes. Will I be denied medical treatment?? Will cigarettes be illegal? Alcohol? (too bourgeois perhaps)

Can someone advise me. In this ZA 'utopia', who does the unpleasant jobs that technology will never replace?
Right now, they are done by humans, who do these jobs because they get some reward (eg money).
Take the money away, or the need for it, who does these jobs while the rest fart around unleashing their 'creativity' painting or playing golf all day?
Get real, not all jobs will be done by technology, they will always need caring, empathic humans. Think of old-age care homes full of people who cannot eat, wash or toilet themselves, or the 24/7 care of the severely disabled, just TWO examples Robbie The Robot don't cut it at.
Maybe 'utopia' will just do away with the old or sick? A Brave New World.
