May I ask you, what government type would you hope this centralized system
would utilize?

Socialism/social welfare would be my suggestion for a type of
government, that is, a socialized system for the fair and good welfare
of the people.


Well, it's been tried before.

Every time it has led to the death on MILLIONS of people.

A merit sytem could be put into place, and persons who accumulate
merits can earn free time off from work, and holidays in nice places,
and so on.


We have a merit system here in capitalistic societies.

It's called MONEY.

The public order, welfare, and the system is of more importance than
any one individual, so people will just have to learn and adapt.


Or what?

Lenin had a way of dealing with dissenters.

So did Mao Zedong.

So did Pol Pot.

One interesting question is what do we do for the labor required for
harvesting food such as picking grapes for our wines, picking melons
for our breakfast tables, working in the orchards, or harvesting
vegetables, as examples, and for menial tasks of all kinds we assign
to foreign or domestic "cheap" �labor forces? Again, a merit system
would apply and participants / workers would all get a chance to
compete and excel.


I'm sure there'll be a long line for THOSE jobs!


I tell you ACDC, sometimes even a blind pig can find an acorn!
Apparently John didn't get the memo that the "envy of the world" the
USSR crashed and burned under the weight of it's own "central
planning" bureaucracy.
