Slynky... I am sorry I did not say you were country bashing.... Maybe I need a few more returns between those sentances
I was just reminding posters what the intent of the thread was.
Roanon.
I disagree with you in the greed concept. And I also agree with you. If that makes you go Huh!
I used to think it was just greed.
But I believe that it is the quest of Standard of Living.
People wish to live their lives where they can see that their standard of living increases from year to year.
This includes material goods, shelter, food , stability and level of comfort.
With this thought think about those 5 key areas. There is greed involved there. Yes but it is just part of the puzzle.
We have never seen a Marxist Version of Communisim. For the conditions to trigger/evoluve (from a marxist point of view) this have never been met.
But if you take a Marxist point of view and apply it to the 5 key areas that societies strive towards this Version of Communisim could happen with the different levels of greed that people do have.
For greed to truely kill a system everyone should have an equal level of greed. But that is not the case as its the standard of living that is the goal. This is why we have seen the many types of goverments in the 20th century and the reason they flurish and decline.
Well thats what I think. And I do believe it ties into a persons rights within what ever country they live in.
Would you ( anyone ) choose a high standard of living over personal freedoms within a nation and the personal freedoms of others in other nations?
It is a tough question to answer. And one where I have not answered yet. And one that is not cut and dry. Perhaps I do not want to answer it, but I also do not want the question answered for me
