Mark, no - you just do not understand the point I am trying here to make. All theories usually fail because they do not take into consideration human psychology. While a free market capitalistic society where people decide about the fruits of their work sounds like an ideal model, nevertheless it creates huge inequalities which as a consequence will not allow the system to function as planned. Where is inequality, there is potential for violence . No society can be a success if it is plagued by riots and crime. The only solution would be to preventatively pacify the potential troublemakers, and this requires a system of welfare and other social services, which are not exactly fitting into a free social model as proposed. Your shortsightedness is understandable though. You are idealist who thinks that to have a paradise, all it takes is to make people free to earn money and enjoy it. You do not take into consideration the jealousy and greed of those who have less, but believe should have more. To keep the troublesome elements in order, the system would have to allow for expansion of militia powers. The more militia, the more potential for corruption. There will be always someone who has more money than you to pay to enforce his own way over yours. To have a regime in order to have a minority to enjoy the fruits of their labor is a moral suicide. It is not true that humans are inherently good, rather they are good unless they see an opportunity to profit by being bad. Being bad can also bring well earned profit. It is only a moral issue how it was earned. As I have read somewhere, many Mafioso consider themselves to be the honest capitalists. Who do you think tortures people in Iraq and elsewhere, some demons? No, the honest good people. A potential for evil is in every man and given an opportunity, it will blossom. Inequalities create such opportunity. Do you see a way out?

Anna, When your points are refuted, you reply as below. How contradictory! If there ever was an ideal-society theory that failed, it was the one you generally persist in defending. -Mark _____ It is, in ideal society. But a theory even the best, never works the same in real life.
