Has there ever been a functioning society where the vast majority of the population did not have to work for a living and all their needs were provided by a massive central bureaucracy? Why is it so obvious that such a society would work given that we also have many examples of populations (within existing societies) that suffer from multitude of social ills when their basic needs are provided by the welfare state but no jobs are available. >But we're not all brainwashed drones that only live for work. What brainwashing??!?!? You make it seem like working for a living was invented last week. This has been the reality for all of human history.
