the type of system you have described whether you realise it or not is a communist system - this idea that humanity is uncivilised and needs to be controlled so there's no more conflict is the root of communist ideology |
At best it is a version of communism, which is a good thing.
Communism as we have seen in the USSR or North Korea is NOT what communism should be, they have dictatorship, they are brutal, don't allow for opinions, don't let people be free and happy.
In a way the communism we have seen over there is not really communism. the word communism means putting things in COMMON. like what families that take care of each other do. But just cause a dictatorial society who makes everyone poor and miserable is called communist, does not mean that the notion of communism, or at least a certain form of communism. (I don't like the word cause it tends to be politicized) would necessarily be bad.
All I can tell you is that the communism we have seen in the USSR, North Korea and China is bad, obviously but so is capitalism.
If I could summarize bad communism and capitalism in one line I would say: Communism is a system where everybody's poor and you have no rights, capitalism is a system where you have rights ONLY if you can afford them, with money, which most people cannot.
And the type of better society I'm talking about has nothing to do with those communist dictatorships we have seen in the world.
EDIT: Oh and I never said humanity needs to be controlled, I said we are evolving and eventually we'll get to a NON predatorial type of society, where people will NOT need to crush others to succeed, that has nothing to do with a society where people are controlled.
