The entire world economic system is evil. (Con = is not evil).

OK, let me give it to you with a new rephrasing - the concept of economy is evil, or at least, it is a cruel and anti-human (as well as anti-animal is some cases) concept. Yes, money does FORCE people to do these things. How? Not physically, but mentally and maybe emotionally. If people had the money, say two parents had 50million dollars, they would not have to struggle, nor would they have to worry about them and their children, nor would they have to take more time away from family than necessary. For a lack of money, which many people are facing, even from middle class and all the way to absolute poverty, people have to resort to any means to get money, in order to save them and their families. Do you blame someone who steals a loaf of bread to feed their family? What choice do they have, in a world that forces them, by law, to pay for a necessity? ""People starve, people go without housing or hygiene, and people are forced to be segregated into rich and poor, or separated into a hierarchy" Yes I agree that all this does happen. This does not make the economy, or money for that matter "evil". The money would have to have its evil little mind forcing all this to happen and manipulating people." - It makes the concept of economy very evil. Think. If there was no economy, and everyone cooperated, they would not starve. With economic system, they are forced to go without food, without, they can eat all they like, significantly reducing the risk of imminent death! Without economic system, there is no hierarchy. Without economic system, people do not have to struggle for a roof over their heads. Without economic system, water is clean, everything is safe, no worries about dangerous diseases if someone drinks the only available water. It is a valid point, and it is very on point. Money does manipulate minds. Who makes people greedy for money, if it does not exist? Who does that when it does? The person with more money, the lure of luxuries, which would not take such struggle to obtain when there is no economy. Without an economy, and which you simply cannot deny, there is no greed, and no struggle for survival needs. You cannot deny that the world would be a so much more cooperative place. "All that is required for them to get food as a bit of team work and they can catch a fish/ other animal, or eat a plant." - Precisely! We need food as much as the next animal, and that is how we do it! If we didn't have to pay for food, that is basically all we might have to do. The keyword is teamwork. We work together to obtain our food, our shelter and anything else. Even I doubt that humans would change the system now, however, I think people could agree if we take a closer look. We may not even need to hunt ourselves after all. That's why we have farmers, yes? So those who wish to run a farm, gather our food and send it to the grocery store. Then, we simply go in and get what we need. The thing is, we need to teach people cooperation so they will understand how everyone's life will improve. Your next argument was very interesting, however, if the salesman in question does not wish to give you the computer free, as it should be* (in the non-economic world, there may be say, one computer per person), therefore does not wish to cooperate, give him something you have or can obtain easily, that he needs. Or do a service for him. What is your job in society? What is your passion, now a career? *You do not get paid for a job. You do a job you enjoy doing, if you have the brains or strength, and you cooperate by giving people a service. e.g. in your computer example: computer is free because, it is made from materials obtain free - minerals and elements, like silicon, are mind by miners and given to those who need it for products. (This, by the way, is how technology still develops).
