The clues to American Soviet Paradise lie in such as the 800 episodes of Star Trek. The ships are USS - clearly United Soviet States. Politics is a thing of the past in the one party state and money long forgotten until the new Jews were brought in to ridicule - the Ferrengi have big ears and the term means 'annoying white person' in Hindi and Arabic. Godswank makes a comeback in Deep Space Nine.
Do any US businesses run on a free trade, open competitive basis? This is claimed everywhere and seems untrue except in odd pockets like Chris' entrepreneurs club. Most US business is big, corporate and may well be subsidised - a form of hidden state capitalism. The great entrepreneur stories of 'Mom's garage' soon turn into Mummy being on the IBM board and people being given years of military research for free. I think there is an exciting possibility that this world contains almost no work. If we could see that we could build something approaching paradise. In the way is the heroism of the work ethic and people who know what the public gets to know is bullshit and the real ways of staying ahead concern controlling money and through it the ability to poach the best talent. Leaders were culled from Korean POW camps to make the rest placid - and we take the best from everywhere to diminish everywhere. Nearly 60% of US citizens get welfare of some kind before you consider TARP and various Cantillon schemes that are welfare for the rich. Soviet American Paradise - an obvious place for saps! What would we want to build? I know what I'd like to see and that this can be rationally argued in a way assured of treatment as mad heresy. Spirituality might have public and private realms Allan. Economics has only libidinality, no spirit.
