    I feel doubtful that a society being permanently stable is necessarily the most important objective.

    That’s exactly what I’ve said from the beginning. Society needs to be more flexible, and if our current models are to be effecitve they need to be “shaken up” so as to prevent extreme exploitation by those who gather power and influence over society.

    Try to understand what people need and seek in their lives, and consider how certain organization may promote or impede their capacity to reach or to achieve such needs and wants.

    Again, that’s what I said near the beginning. Society should aim to meet the core needs of the people. After that, society should provide the opportunity for people to meet their desires - but this must be tempered so as not to meet the desires of some at the expense of other peoples’ needs.

    It’s not about any asolute count of negative events or negative actors, rather that such things will inevitably happen. Structural resiliance against such things is exactly what I’m saying is lacking in most societies - all too often sociopaths are allowed to take the helm and steer society towards depravity, for their own personal gain. A perfect societal structure must account for this, and our current implementations across the globe do not.

      Exploitation and autocracy are expressly encouraged by particular structure, though, whereas antagonized by other.

      I encourage seeking to develop those structures protect the empowerment of everyone.

        Again, you’re skirting around saying things. If you want to say that capitalism is bad and communism is good that’s fine by me.

        Personally, I see flaws in both systems. They’re different, but both are susceptible to exploitation, albeit in slightly different forms. It’s only through constant review and viligilance that the rot can be kept away.

          Communism is not complacency or obedience.

          It is simply the eradication of the systems of exploitation.
