Why would 5% of the population work if they could spend their days sitting on a beach somewhere?

Not what they have today. Just imagine if the anglo american empire is responsible for gaza and what is happening there. See how bad out ptb are. Gaza shows you how bad our leaders are, and i mean just pure evil.
The techs and knowledge they have, is something no tyrant has had in our modern history.

so the solution is to get rid of the monetary system?
i feel that just getting rid of money would not solve it alone, if we were to simply trade things there would still be loopholes for people to eventually gain footholds on large assets of wealth somehow, and even without money slavery can exist
getting rid of money is an important thing, possibly but i haven't spent more than enough time thinking about it
it's a step in the right directionedit on 11/18/2010 by indigothefish because: (no reason given)

there will always be people who will want to work. an archaelogist works because they love the profession. a teacher may teach because its their calling. a scientist will research a cure for leukemia because his family may have someone dying from it. an engineer will work because he want to build a ship capable of travel to Mars.

For real I don't agree with the diamond thing, for one I really don't think they're that abundant (but also not that rare either), some where between, and secondly, I don't think I would want to get dressed/undressed in a diamond house, as they are perfectly see through!
No thanks lol!!!
But the rest I agree that there are plenty of resources, and that.
I disagree that we will never break them, I beleive it will happen, the banks are going down! The corporate hogs are going down!!!! It's going to happen so fast it's going to make your head spin!!!edit on 18-11-2010 by ldyserenity because: (no reason given)

I'm not sure that this is based on reality. All theses people are working on their own projects. How do you get people to do stuff for you for no reward?
