Its all a failure...

Caitlin Johnstone is known to be a bit on the left, and influenced heavily by socialist thought.

On the one hand, the cooperative model has it's place, OTH, competition is natural. We see it throughout the natural world. To claim that nature is dysfuntional is pretty short sighted. I have a feeling she is an atheist who believes that humans can rise above their nature and solve all of their problems.


A balance must be struck. Going to either extreme generally leads to dysfunction.

To claim that competition is, "not conducive to the thriving of our species or our planet," does not take a realistic view of history or biology. Certainly, the predictions of Malthus would have come to pass long ago without competition.
Socialists/communists compete like everyone else, only, in a different way

They compete winning and rigging elections, competing to file roles of power, and competing to be the pets of the elite, etc.

It is our nature.

I agree. Competition has its benefits, when done correctly and fairly. Unfortunately our current economic situation is far from correct and fair.

It’s evident our government is all about satisfying the demands of the ultra wealthy and the corporations they own. The people’s demands are mostly ignored.
1. Nothing is fair

2. All human endeavors ultimately fail.

3. Everyone competes.

Stop trying to achieve the unachievable.

Why torture yourself?

He is right that GOVERNMENT is the problem. It is too powerful and is owned by self-interested wealthy elites. We need to kill them and weaken the fuck out of government.

That’s absurd. We live in a failed state that harms millions of poor people and you say hunky dory. Fuck that.

But they are competing with you and winning.

So send the illegals home,,,,

Think about all of the jobs and resources that would open up!!!

Oh, wait....

The Democrats would rather have our poor try to eke out an existence on welfare and food stamps than give up all of those new voters, right????
 
Games (competition) are for kids. Adults survive best through planning and cooperation. Too big to fail corporations and billionaires are just naughty children in sore need of instant transfer to Mars.

Because they are using GOVERNMENT FORCE to compete and win.

That sounds suspiciously like It takes a village to raise an idiot (or someone who is dependent on us to provide for them).....

If you believe that shit, I have a bridge to sell you.

But, fuck corporate welfare. That shit is for the birds.

Again you’re trying to minimize the problem by claiming oh well, everybody does it.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Acceptance of failure and suffering is dumb.

You are trying to achieve something that has never been done.

I'm not saying it is not good to try and improve society best you can, but what I am saying is you cannot fix what is really broken, and that is human nature.

Exactly.

Keep in mind, if you define winning as power and money, yes.

But is that what life is really about?

No.

It's like I always say, everyone has a devil, that is, there is one thing that f#cks up the world

For example, Marx said it was class warfare and capitalism, Christians say it is our sin nature, Nazis insist it is the Jews, etc.

So what is your devil? What is wrong with the human race?

I agree it’s not fixable. It needs total destruction and an entirely new approach.

I don’t think you’re right about it never being done before. Societies have existed where all individuals had the same rights and no ruler could impose his will. Native American societies come to mind.

Native Americans?

You pick on a population with very little historical knowledge about them. You are romanticizing the issue. It's not based in reality

Tell me, how "just" were the native Americans in South America who threw virgins and children to their deaths to appease the gods? That is one of the few historical facts we know about the native populations.
