I'd rather live on the Moon

What would the world look like without capitalism?  Imagine all the big banks crumbling in one day.  All the governments in the world disappear, and new ones are not put in their place.   Most people seem to like capitalism, but why?  Ten years after its collapse, would we really be as bad off as the Republicans keep saying?  Grass grows between the cracks in the pavement where an interstate used to be.  Cars and trucks, no longer needed in this world line the median, rusting until all the metal returns to the ground.  This is the only way people will survive on the earth.  Industrialization and technology only benefit a few powerful people who use the labor of common people to their advantage.  More importantly, it has slowly been destroying the earth with global warming and bad air.  Within fifty years, whether conservatives like it or not, we will have to return to the way things were in 1800.  The world can not sustain people's greedy destruction of the natural habitat.  The best part is we'd have no government anymore.  Now there's thousands of laws controlling every aspect of our lives.  Imagine how much better it would be not to be ruled by any laws?  As it is now I can barely take living in this world and having to obey laws I don't think I should have to.  Right now I think the best country to live in would be Somalia, although many people who feel they need laws would probably disagree.  But I think the best place to live is on the Moon.  I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a bunch of people who hate capitalism but like freedom to the Moon, and stay there.  I'd be a lot happier there then here.

  1. And you would need capitalism to raise the money to fund the research to create the equipment to go there. Sorry Yo can not just take other people's work for free. And no one else is going to build you a space ship for free.
