Is the world leading to a wealth-free socialist/communist society?

This is becoming a point in history we never encountered...we are hitting three areas...Technology, government, and most importantly, human nature.

Number one, get the "good countries and governments, and bad countries and governments" out of your head. This will clear up a lot. HUMAN BEINGS have to DELIBERATELY make choices to keep from violating other peoples freedoms. The founding fathers knew this and said "If you give ANY government 5 years without checking on them they WILL become corrupt. If you give them 20 years without checking on them, they will become powerful enough to stay that way. We came to America to get away from the tyrant King George, and tried setting up a government with checks and balances to prevent another King George here, otherwise the Revolutionary War would have been pointless. However, we see many Unconstitutional things happening in our time anyway. Again, human nature. Being honest about doing harm or making mistakes and telling on yourself is scary and hard. wanting something and just going without it is hard. being fair and respecting other people as equal in freedom takes sacrifice. So, being that its hard, MOST humans will, and always have, become corrupt as a result, to obtain desire and either destroy opposition or run and hide. or to take it. Its human default, Russian, American, Korean, Ancient Chinese, doesn't matter. Only a few nations were civilized and uncorrupt, two were Ancient Egypt (not the last 1,00 years or so, they were falling apart then) and Taoist China.

The other thing is that technology is stitching us together in one world, one level field. we have different nations, beliefs, etcetera, but when on the internet, when Skyping, when ordering products, when getting access the right or wrong way is available to everyone globally, and transportation becomes quicker and more effitient, there HAS to be some type of Global regulation. But the dilemma is this: WHO determines this when humans that control the global system are, or will become, corrupt? How can one group of humans be more than human to be fair when dealing with others? As our technology increases, our maorality is decaying, we are collapsing as fast as we are advancing technologically. This is a natural situation because we don't know what to do, we haven't been here as humans before. And being that the aggressive and prudent always bully their way to the top, regardless of race, nation, time in history, corporate, religious, or secular, we will either become socialist in a bad way with a group of aggressive power addicts controlling and suppressing the rest, or we will fight for each others equality globally, and agree to become a self disciplining race that does not require governance. We WILL be our own government. But that requires EQUALITY, and that is what a good socialism would be. So far, no socialist system has turned out good. We need to all be our own self governors and encourage each other to do the same and hold each other accountable, and that will become a new positive peer pressure. Finally, don't be confused about democracy and socialism. Vladimir Lennon, founder of the Soviet Union, said "A Democracy is INDISPENSABLE to forming a Socialist Government". This means that, as we see today in our country, if you allow a people to become individualistic, they will start asking government to come in more and more and more to settle their differences....stop THAT religion! Take THAT flag down! ALLOW gay marriage or DONT allow Gay marriage! etcetera etcetera. We ALL have a first Ammendment right, or we ask government to take specific rights from specific people, the we also lose OUR first amendment rights, There is an old Zen Buddhist proverb: "To control your cattle, give them wide open pastures" If they just say "We are taking over, we will arm up and flip them the bird. If we just quarrel amongst ourselves to make laws to control our neighbors, we will eventually and gradually be ASKING them to creep in and turn the country socialist. We will CREATE our own socialism. We are very close to the point of no return in our global history...we need to respect each others freedom, or we will ALL lose it.

Star Trek is a TV show where theres a little shelf in the wall the you can walk up to and order food and it magically appears for you. Liberals don't seem to understand the difference between reality and a TV show. No. The future will never be like Star Trek. Ever.

Yea up and when that occurs we will need to cook our mouse meat over a fire that we started by rubbing two sticks together, unless we are lucky enough to be where lightening started a fire for us.

the rich are getting richer by the moment while the middle class is shrinking. if anything, capitalism is becoming an empire controlled by cronies

more like cash free and we will all have a money chip implanted so we are easier to control

wealth-free ?

Overwork free? maybe.

Who cares?

no

greed is the main issue. can you imagine Bill Gates or any drug lord giving his money away?
