The Rues as stated in the last thread:

Right, a few rules before we start this time. No flaming. No intolerance of anybody else's viewpoint. No deciding you don't like the topic, and trying to tell people what they can discuss. This goes for everybody from now on.

Other than that, enjoy your discussion

I simply think our ancestors were cooperative people, who worked together and didn't take more than each other, because humans are an incredibly community based species, wer require community to survive, just like the stronger elephants protect the elderly and the youth in this groups, we humans have held communal economy long before anyone settled down and started farming, and even then the world was still based mostly on community.

I am implying, and not attempting to imply, but downright implying that John Morgan was distanced from his actions has a human being, not as a unionist or as a rich man or anything. The more little transactions distanced you from the token of your hard work, the more community was lost to competition, doing things for the wealth of the community was lost to doing things for the wealth of oneself. John Morgan would stand out as an immoral person even in today's society, but even that is an irrelevant example, because community is no longer apart of our society, and communal nature has been forgotten.

People think human nature is one of greed, my point is that it is in fact not at all, and though competition played a role even in the early humans, mostly between two different tribes that would often kill individuals of the other tribe, but genocide was unthinkable. People think humans could never get to a society where they are all working for each other and living without crime or greed to unemployement, all the promises of a completed communist world, when in fact humans live like such all over the world.

Take Ledakh, the people there are farmers, and though in the last 20 years they've seen massive industrialization, before it hit they lived as communists, sharing everything, wasting nothing, helping each other, striving for the health of all individuals instead of their own personal family, everything.

So, to reiterate, my point (as I bring it back to the topic, or where the topic led to) is that it's still veru much a part of human nature to work together with your community.
