Nature is a socialist.
It's likely that humanity would survive the kind of event that lead to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
We have underground facilities and stores of food/water that would permit the species to survive an event that lead to the sun being blocked out for 5 years or so.
Sometimes, that's the best for which we can hope.
Nature is about equilibrium and balance. I'm not touting some spiritual mumbo jumbo either. Their are many examples where the fittest consume unsustainably and destroy their own environment in a sort of ironic suicide.
The ones that survive are the ones that live in harmony with nature, not necessarily the fittest. This is why we see so many balanced ecosystems in nature; because these types of systems are the only ones that don't overload and die out.
the world, collectively, could use much more political science education. the same could be said for nearly all bitcoin supporters (especially in the early days)
Socialism has brought us unbridled wars and crony capitalism. My argument is simply 1) capitalism is preferred and 2) socialism inevitably creates crony capitalism. Therefore, we should perhaps see what happens without the socialism part. The USA during the 19th century was thriving, at a time when socialist restrictions were nearly non-existent.
