Interesting but what would you do about initiative? That has been the problem
with all of the "job" oriented labor in the communist and socialist countries or
so goes the propaganda here about it. In my culture it is the Sacred, the
family,
the work (power) and the life of the imagination that is considered to fulfill
one's
destiny. If a person does not have work that is bad but it is also as bad for
a
person's work to lack the potential to challenge and develop their imagination
and
creativity. Most non-profit state organizations are only for the highly
motivated,
others need profit or they stagnate according to the dominant political
theories.
What do you think?
