    well you keep making contradictory assertions.

    ie you are not totalitarian yet you would prevent me from getting a second job.

    heck you totally prohibited me from becoming a make prostitute .

      its a bureacratic nightmare to make sure that work is distributed 'equally' how do you quantify work in ways other than money - is and hour of physical labor more valuable than an hour of desk job? there are literally millions of types of jobs out there (just look at monster.com to see) how will the party be able to decide who does what and how much each job is worth?

        Work has to be disributed equally too.

        Ohhhhhh....so I can't go work at the factory down the road on the weekends cos there's some poor kid in China who didn't get his full forty in last week?

        How's he gonna GET to the factory down the road from me? We gonna pay to fly him over every weekend so it's "fair"????

          I assume you are seeing the end of war through Global unification of some sort?? That'll be fun. What if the large Arab population votes to dispossess the Israeli's of their lands ( its a democracy right?)-- Or will your society ban religion?

                      yup its the non-totalitarian state where some central planner tells me how many hours to work and what wage I can earn-- Also I am not permitted to employ others for any profit .. . and wrongthinking will be DOUBLEPLUS-UNGOOD.

                      And since it is "democratic' I am sure the planners will allow us to change things

                        Then it'll get real ugly under your utopia too. I can assure you. Unless we wait for replicators to be invented (by the capitalists, of course) before starting the revolution.

                        But that won't work either, cos then what would we do for "work" ??

                        I guess we could all just sit around and think a lot....it's not work, but....you know.

                          And those people demand profit only, and at all costs.

                              Why ? take oil-- as it gets more expensive, people consume less, drill for more and look for alternatives--- Right now the high price is leading to reactivation of wells in old fields that had become uneconomic and has triggered many innovations that are leading to enhanced recovery schemes.

                              So which resources are we about to get competitive for?
