And there it is! Finally! You entered a discussion of theory: a discussion on what the ideal is. A discussion where no one is talking anything about the mechanics of getting there and you decided to completely ignore that and start talking about “compromises” and “reality” as though it made you smart to completely miss the discussion actually taking place.
No, I will not “join you in reality” (i.e. Talk about policy) because we are not discussing policy, we are discussing theory. That is what was posted, that is what everyone around you is talking about.
The question posed is “what should be?” You don’t get to pretend that’s a discussion of what is and walk away like you made a point.
Also, no shit the ancient Greeks paid for art. I wasn’t making a claim about the Greeks. I said before the industrial revolution as in “just before the industrial revolution” and no, even then it wasn’t perfect. But both that and the Greek system was a completely different beast to what we have today and you know it!
Stop being a smug asshole and actually engage with the discussion or fuck off. Nothing you are saying is relevant to the actual discussion. I’m advocating for a completely different social structure and you’re saying “but that wouldn’t work under our current system”! It’s not a compelling argument, it’s the whining of a child who is choosing not to comprehend what’s being said because it makes you uncomfy
