What People Could Be

Communism fails for the reason, it is based on what people could be, not what they are. We are headed for the sixth extinction for the same reason. Humans are unwilling to place the community good over personal economic greed. Trump is the prime example.

For communism to work, altruism would need to be a common or near universal characteristic of the human species. It is not. Even many of those who claim to be altruistic do altruistic things for how it make them feel, not because they are altruistic by nature. The same characteristic would be necessary to stop carbon dioxide rise, climate warming and the impending climate change disaster that is looming on the horizon, along with the sixth extinction. It is less clear it extinction is the correct term; great population reduction, bottle neck, or similar may be a more correct term. Crop failure will cause starvation and populations conserving the remaining foods will cause even more starvation. Distrust, and evaluation of needs may cause much economic issues for the high living peoples. Those who produce foods will have to feed themselves first, and others will just come second or last. Oh well, in the end we all just die anyway.

Our purpose, if we have one, is to produce the next generation, and teach them how to live for the next year, until the next crop, be it animal or plant or plants to feed the animals. Cloth and shelter come next, but as these are more durable, are less urgent. But what do I know?

The point is that we must honestly, brutally know what people really are, even if we are trying to be more Liberal, Progressive, forward thinking and altruistic humans. We can never lose sight of what people really are, else we will parish first.
