Well, I was mainly speaking in terms of economic competition. There'd still be ways of competing, like in sports or video games and other things like that. However, in terms of people's livelihood, it should not be that way, because there'll always be people that lose out. There's also other things that drive people other than competition. Babies and little kids, for example, are obsessed with learning, and are heavily driven by the desire for knowledge. |
Competition is vital in all aspects of life. If you see someone that has it better, it drives you to better yourself and strive to obtain it. That drive or instinct should be encouraged in all people because they'll never get ahead without it.
This is why I don't like socialism and communism because it punishes people who try to better themselves for the so called good of all people. If you destroy the point of "trying" to get ahead by taking anything of worth and giving it to people who are in need because of their apathy, it will only create more apathetic people. It's a society that will destroy itself in the long run because it disregards human nature and reality. It's the ultimate form of envy, self-loathing and misanthropy. No matter what is done, there will always be people who do good and people who don't. There will be always be the rich and poor. Making everyone poor or miserable for the sake of equality is not a way to obtain equality or fairness.
I'm all for helping out people who are in actual need because hard times or because of their empairment to work.
People are not born It's incredible niave to believe that you can get rid of "there'll always be people that lose out"
