Hey, I'm just pushing the idea of what anarchists and socialists have been talking about for over a century. Do you mean to tell me that none of these people have spent any time thinking about what their society would look like? It certainly ain't going to look like contemporary America but with socialist or anarchists running everything!

In any case, I think that the direction that capitalism is headed is going to force everybody to give up the American Way of Life(tm) in the next few decades.
