I'm surprised how kindly people are treating this plan.
Ignore any mention of Mormonism and talk about a planned community where to participate people must give up all of their net worth to that community, work for a 'business' that gives up all profit to that community for a 'dividend' from the shared resources, all under an explicit and rigid hierarchy and see how people react.
- Zacru 10y agoI think the key is that it would be completely voluntary. Not many people are going to complain if you want to go off do your own thing.
- clavalle 10y agoHaving a theoretical option to do a thing is not the same as having the freedom to do it. Do you think the community is going to give that person's net worth back so they can start a new life? Do you think someone is going to spend time building a business just to walk away with nothing? What about the friends and family left behind who will no doubt be encouraged to shun you. Cults are completely voluntary, too, if you think only in theoreticals and ignore the practical implications of their policies.
