Why was it Utopia?--because only TWO people existed...equality amongst humans is not possible, because people are not PHYSICALLY and MENTALLY created equal. Some work (cue Daft Punk) harder, better, faster, stronger than others. And unfortunately humans are not all good in nature, and most who work (or give humankind progress) resent those who don't.<br /><br />A system can never be perfect, because people aren't perfect--we have innate evils, whether it be greed or laziness or child molestation. Under any system, life will be hard for few (I presume the people who are the subject of your movie--the impoverished). What we can do is come up with a system that is best at reducing the pain these people endure, and minimizing the amount of people that fall under this category.<br /><br />The current system (capitalism) has proven to be best at providing motivation, and increasing the standard of living. In fact--other political systems (especially ANARCHY lol) don't even come close. Of course--sometimes people who are 'harder,better,faster,stronger' are greedy (or suck). They take more than they need. That's why you can fight your cause by supporting liberal movements, regulating the parts of society under capitalism that are unfair--that give strength to class lines. <br /><br />You call it a 'Broken' system, but what BROKE? It was never perfect. Nothing ever has been.<br /><br />As your admit--it is not like you have a better idea in mind. Marx did--and it never played out, because it didn't account for the human's evils. So I urge you to revert back to your original thinking: ...until you have a better idea--because it is dangerous to think a system is wrong without having anything better to replace it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981847304731025792.post-84957036564444508432010-03-30T17:52:24.688-07:002010-03-30T17:52:24.688-07:00Remember, you always have a choice in anything you...Remember, you always have a choice in anything you do.
