No. Actually, if you read Adams, it should be a pretty just system, the problem being people I that system, without checks and balances.
People, not systems, are the problem.
A new system that allows entrepreneurship, while protecting those who just want to go and clock-in, allows private property, but prevents accumulation and speculation, etc... But designed from the ground up to prevent major deviations, is in order.
Pussy, ambushing a lone buffalo while armed with a big game gun!
Run the bulls in Pamplona, like real men do.
That's like saying the players don't suck for losing, it's the ref and the rules of the game.
Human nature is what it is. We need our political and economic systems to rein it in and channel it towards good*.
Yes.
Think the problem is that no one has dreamed up a political/economic system that actually reigns it in.
You can see a change by moving from one to another, but once everyone has settled into the 'rules' of the game, some asshats game whatever rules those are to be back on top again.
Well, there are very few things that are perfect. Making small improvements one step at a time usually leads to more than good enough results. It's when most people stop trying to improve things when it starts falling apart. And when it gets bad enough to wake people up, it is usually too late for easy fixes.
