Default Re: Your Views on a world Government

In what way is it backwards?. Communism seems to think the government should be made to care for and run by the workers. I believe the government is there to serve the people but that they owe allegiance to the community. Its not all people are equal as workers, but instead all people are equal as citizens of the state.
Basically if I am a doctor I get stuck being reduced to the same equality of a drug addict, great that encourages me to do things in life now doesn't it?

The problem with your idea is that people need to be motivated by more then force to actually give a damn and do something worthwhile in the world, your idea would put a smart educated and useful person at the "equal" of a lowlife scumsucking moocher, why should I be a doctor then?

That is and has always been one of the primary failings of communism I DON'T want to be equal to some of the folks I've met, I am confident in my superiority and glad of it, and I'm sure there are others that are superior to society then I am and good on them (I've met a few people smarter then me).
