Re: Mind's Eye turning the world Greek

Some of the issues facing us can be found here -

Greece and probably Italy would have become communist after WW2 - but
for Anglo-Saxon interference. International money has escaped even
war reparation and the whole business of working for a living is
undercut by vast riches. The real issue is about retaining motivation
to get the work we need done done. I find the financial system
utterly demotivating. The answer isn't communism.

It doesn't seem to matter much whether money is focused on a few rich
or centralised government. The problem is the corruption of the
oligarchs or politicians. Yet try getting people to organise to do
necessary work and you soon realise this is a process of coercion.
The idea has to be to spread wealth widely - yet even this leaves us
with problems of consumption and planet burning as we all become
middle-class idiots or irresponsible carbon-footprint breeders.
