The remote places where people have no access to civilization. These places
are where people die when they get sick. I wouldn't want to live in those
remote areas.

Capitalism is not a perfect system but it is the BEST SYSTEM. In a
capitalist society, people who are willing to work hard will be rewarded. In
a socialist society, people who work hard are punished. The government
steals their money in the guise of "wealth distribution" to give away to the
lazy in the guise of the "poor."

If socialism were a better system, why are the people of Puerto Rico better
off than those of Cuba? Why are South Koreans better off than North Koreans?
Please answer these questions.

I remember what was taught in school. During quizzes and exams, YOU ARE ON
YOUR OWN. If you try to help your seatmate, you and your seatmate are
punished. Even with group work where everyone works as a team, the team
members who work hardest are rewarded with good grades and the team members
who did little or nothing are punished with poor grades. Why should society
be different?

Cooperatives only work in a farming society. Well, guess what sir, we are no
longer a farming society. Tell me that cooperatives can invent and build
cars, electronic goods, software and other things besides food?

By the way, if the only wealth we create is food, guess what, we'll all be
serfs tilling the land. Sorry, but I hate milking cows. And I'd rather die
than be forced to stimulate the bull's sexual activity by shoving my arm up
its arse. :-)

----------------
Robots will not eliminate all workers. Someone has to produce the robot.
Someone has to invent the robots. But the mindless and monotonous work will
go.

> If not everyone can become rich, then why is capitalism so good?
---------------
Because there are less POOR people in a capitalist society. The poor have a
chance to make it rich in a capitalist society if they will only invest in
knowledge and education. In a socialist society, EVERYONE save for the
supreme ruler IS POOR. Checkout Cuba and North Korea.
