I'm quoting a quote from an argument on discount Zig Forums (funnyjunk) because this is either arrogance or a serious misunderstanding.
"Incentives exist past monetary gain. We, as a society, must pass the obsession with materialistic incentives which is provided by capitalist indoctrination throughout our entire young, scholastic lives. In a communist society, the general welfare of the state (which is comprised of the proletariat) is of top priority. People do not struggle to survive and succeed their birth-given socio-economic status so much because no-one is more or less advanced than you in any meaningful way.The work is distributed to the strong, able, and appropriate, and the incentive to discover and invent is to leave a mark on mankind and to improve society as a whole, as extreme wealth is not a given option for this mark, mostly because it is not needed. It persuades the individual to seek scholastic advancement and make scientific discoveries by removing the Capitalist-added incentive to simply gain money and buy extravagant things and act ostentatiously to gain fame/ recognition. The idea is to pass the predatory phase of society and establish a more peaceful, academically-oriented society that champions general welfare and scientific/mathematic advancement as opposed to championing income inequality and profit."
That is what is meant by progression of species. Not some human supremacy bullshit or other crap, simply to improve ones lives and become more civilized, to act for the sake of good, rather than (solely) for the sake of our lives. Pic 1 related
That's a deliberate manipulation of facts that obfuscates the fact that Africans are NOT inherently stupid or bad, but rather their situation has not let them develop as quickly. Pic 2 and 3 related.
I will not go into the rest of this because I do not pretend to be some expert on over-all equality. I will say this, trying to mathematically quantify something that is based on more than just mathematical reasoning, (I.E. morals). Capitalism is more effective at raising a profit quickly, but its over-all effects are immoral and damaging. Socialism may take slower paths but it raises equally because all people SHOULD start off equally in all aspects and remain equal in key, moral aspects. The simplest explanation that doesn't get stupid is John Rawls's Theory of Justice with 2 main principles.
1) Equal Basic Liberties: People should be maximally free to the amount compatible of being equally free.
2) Difference Principle: Wealth, or other socially influential things like class, education etc, should not be high enough to affect principle 1 significantly. (in other words a person shouldn't be able to influence society any more than another person just because they can use class or money to push their point of view. Which is why capitalist democracy is a farce, since the single 'vote' of a upper-classman is equal to many votes of a prole.
To continue on his ideas, Rawls states what is needed is fair terms of social co-operation, this acquired through 3 things.
1) Citizens should be;
- free (both in the ability to think and also in the ability to not fear for their immediate future concerning base things like shelter and food)
- Equal (in terms of one another within society)
- reasonable and rational
2) Natural Injustices: Some suffering is deserved and others are not. Some people (Ex cripples) have a natural injustice committed against them, therefore these things must be taken into account when distributing.
3) The Veil of Ignorance:
Sex, Religion, Race, Natural Injustices and other inherent things must be ignored in decisions. Therefore when choosing you pick with a theoretical veil on these characteristics and instead pick on the basis of merit or qualification.
Hopefully you take this into account, have a good day.
