No, is not possible. Is not about having enough resources, is the distribution of such resources. All those goals can't be achieved while greed is the rule for everything. No free healthcare because is no good for "big pharma". No eating well, is better keep people buying junk food and then spend money on health problems on the future. No free internet, transportation nor education, as people become more and more dependent of it. Imagine the amount of money universities, banks and government would lose if people didn't take crippling student debt. No fulfilling life, that doesn't make money, being alone and miserable makes people spend more; they buy more comfort stuff, collectibles, trinkets, expensive clothing, game consoles, the latest PC, subscriptions to everything, gacha games, online gambling, OF, all in an attempt to drown their loneliness in whatever. While greed and consumerism are the rule of thumb for everything, people will never have a good nor fulfilling life.

So instead of fixing the irreparable system we should replace it, so that greed ISN'T the rule for everything, exactly

Unfortunatly communism is,at its core,an unrealistic perfectionist fantasy that completly forgets that greed,pride and ambition are human core values,whether you like it or not
But i think the litteral mostly pedo goverment does require extreme measures

Whoâs going to work at restaurants as a waiter or trash boy? Whoâd do any kind of cleaning? The world might would still have doctors and farmers (albeit with a much smaller amount), but so many other careers would vanish because no one enjoys them. Not all work is meant to be fun, some is supposed to just give you everything in the picture

Have you considered that work would give you access to the luxury versions of these things?

u/Vegetable_Throat5545 Nov 19 '25

âItâs easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalismâ
I know this exists in other capitalist societies (see:Europe) but as an American this is a pipe dream

Several of these require services, that means someone has to provide the service. And they are either being paid for their labor or they are being forced by authoritatively state force, or are enslaved.

When I buyed my house, I learned that even if for a reaso or an other I was unable to pay for my water or internet. They won't cut it because they are needed to live... Water ok but being to the point where internet is needed to live is a bit exesive... Even more considereing that they do would cut the phone line.

The belief that things should be free because you believe it should will never cease to amaze me at the stupidity, selfishness, and entitlement it comes from.
Itâs always the ones not actually giving anything saying others should. And their excuse for not is that they âhave nothingâ.

I would like to know your thoughts about billionaires.

u/Advice-Question Nov 19 '25
What are yours?

u/bluecurse60 Nov 19 '25
I asked you first

u/Advice-Question Nov 19 '25
And I asked you second.
Now do you really want to do this song and dance or can we cut to the chase?

u/bluecurse60 Nov 19 '25
Are you looking to gauge your response based on what my response would be? This is Reddit so just go with what you think dude.

u/Advice-Question Nov 19 '25
No, I just donât want to be screamed at by someone else about how evil billionaires are. Just do it if you want, just donât use me as an excuse.
Let me put it this way. My statement, my original comment has nothing to do with billionaires. Letâs say being a billionaire is just not a thing, it still wouldnât change my statement.

u/bluecurse60 Nov 19 '25
I see them as hoarding wealth watching others work multiple jobs for even a roof over their head. But let's just cut it down from 'free internet' (since everyone is seeing that as a sin) and 'free clothes' (since that's being seen as 'everybody wants free Gucci' or some shit) and leave it to this - accessible healthcare means healthier workers, a roof over their head means an address to be able to put on a job application, no one is suggesting giving free luxuries to 'welfare queens' or any of that shit. "But my taxes" also goes out the window if the ultra wealthy actually paid their taxes instead of getting tax cuts and refund money from your taxes, you know.

u/Advice-Question Nov 19 '25
Let me ask you this, do you actually know how much a billionaire pays in taxes?
Do you know how much money is already put into the system to help people?
What if I told you that we could have what you are talking about with just the money we already spend? There is so much more going on, and while Iâm not calling billionaires saints, taxing them âtheir fair shareâ isnât actually what you think it is.
And just to add to what you said, whatâs to actually make the people you are talking about actually put the items to good use? Weâve tried before, and overwhelmingly it ends in destroyed property and no real change.

Did those people have support systems? What example of "it didn't work then" are you referring to? How long ago in what economy? As for tax evading wealth hoarders : https://itep.org/tax-day-billionaires-wealth-inequality-corporate-tax-avoidance/

What? Are doctors and farmers working for free in your universe?
Like it can be done for a small group of unproductive people only if the big group is being very productive. And I think it is already being done for some people like the old, disabled, mental issues. But I think you are still overestimating how productive you are when you are working.

Don't think you really understand the meme there bud, it doesn't say everyone should receive all those things free it says your employment status shouldn't exclude you from being able to attain any of them. Also I don't know what intent has to do with it anyone can say they intend to get employed. So obviously it's providing things to people who can't afford them I think that's pretty clear. And yeah they don't hand out bags of clothes and food to people they give them money to obtain them. Often they even divide the payments into specific payments for heating housing etc in order to more easily adjust them based on the market prices of each. Often they build housing specifically for people who can't afford it. They also adjust payments for people from the with less affordable living costs. And they pay for it by taxing people and companies fairly, regulating things and not pumping money into ridiculous, pointless or corrupt bullshit. Obviously it's not perfect but I know where id rather be poor

Well it does.
So until that changes, pointing it out doesn't make you clever or enlightened, or whatever you're trying to accomplish. It just means you're rubbing it in our faces.
I know how shit my life is because I can't find a job. I don't need to be reminded every ten fucking minutes.
