: Evry defines what they need for themselves, the Drunks and Alcoholics would probably reduce in number, since such conditions tend to be effects of wider social and personal problems.

Or maybe its sheer hedonism and thankfully capitalism has kept sheer hedonism in check so far, hey, even Marx praised capitalism whenit got it right.

: : Well I reckon it is but I consider from each according to ability to each according to work to be more realistic, John Rawls put this all better than me in his "theory of justice".

: Thats the formulation in the 1935 Stalnist consitution- what about the old? What about the Sick & disabled? How do we rate each persons work? Do we callibrate according to the sale of their goods on the market? labour time vouchers? Strikes me as impossible to measure justly. Why should someone who is better at one thing, say making cricket balls, have a better life al round for it? Shouldn't their reweard be their capacity to make cricket balls, in itself?

We have differences, there's something new, I'll bet you like larger better than stout too? In another post to Gee I read about how you believed that a minarchist socialist administration would be required to operate for a while to recalibrate peoples wishes etc. so that stateless society etc. will be possible, all I can say is long may that "phase" last.
