Your ATF in your muscle cells is not a service but physical resource. But what if its release molecular mechanics will be patented? Shall you pay for your every muscular contraction to a patent holder? I do not stop to fascinate about the v

This was not equality of misery. It was equality of opportunities. My father was a factory worker, my mother was from peasants family. They were able to put me into high class secondary school and I was in position to select any university

No, they are OK. They just have other problems, not another scale like 'I do not have 100K to close my mortgage and that guy has no extra 2BN to buy that robotics facility in Korea'. They live in another dimension. It is called po

You are surprisingly right. Small state like Cuba with monocultural agriculture and lack of industry is destined for that. But even in these hard conditions Cuba has a better and more people oriented medical care system than the US has and

What do you mean 'knocked out'? The social justice maintenance system in the USSR worked. There were no rich, but your honest labour and intellectual efforts were properly rewarded there up to end of the 60-ies. That was foundatio

The rich will capitalize on that and will create endless waves of constructing and reconstructing 'social housing'. They will become super rich and will form a layer with vested interest in maintaining hundreds of thousands being

No. But rich will not give up their power. Anarcho-syndicalism has the answer and there are very successful experiments in modern days Spain with communas.

There is no 'humanity' when we talk about power and wealth. There are those who can do everything for power and there are those who cannot. 'Humanity' is abstract. Wealth and power are always attributed to certain indiv

Hardly thousands. 240 000 people die every year in car accidents and no one prohibits cars. Millions died in WW2, but it is not the USSR to blame for it. How many Indians were killed for the US to prosper? We are speaking about fhe better s

'Pravda' stands for 'The Truth'. If you have rich, there will be a lot of poor. Maintain the lifestyle when being rich is immoral, you have no poor, everyone has a job and the streets are safe. This is my impression of t

A web page, where all the useful information is in sound files, that I have to download and listen up to? That is indeed brutal. I can read 10x time faster than listen. Please put the wording to text. Save my time. Besides text files are mu

Technology is immoral. Business is immoral. These things cannot be put into the moral dimension. Only humans are moral beings (fortunately that can be fixed). Essentially, modern planes are 100% self-driving, and look, there are much less h
