Debate: Should the minimum wage be abolished?
Side: No.

No, I do not like our current system, however, eliminating money isn't superior, it would make trade much more complex and put humanity back into a survival situation. And you are in a sense playing with them, you would be forcing a system on billions of people that is mainly an ideaology.In moneyless society there is no need for trade, you simply get what you need. Trade, swapping one thing with another, is not necessary.It is an ideology that would work, meaning it would not be playing with them, it would be changing things, for the better.Heavy? You think because I am able to create music and art that I am unable to imagine other things?Not that you aren't able to imagine other things, just that you seem to fail at seeing certain important aspects or making the right connections, like what and how would make it work in real life.The hole humanities hole is in is currently the idea that mass collectivism and big government are the solution to our problems, a medium that makes trade much easier is not the problem.Trade is not necessary in the first place. There have been economic lowpoints and crisis's before, all because of money. With no money there literally could be no major economic declines (unless it's caused by some natural disaster and even that would not last long).The medium is what causes all the problems (almost all). If you hoard enough medium you can have and even control everything, or most of everything. In moneyless society there would be no option like that.Knowing about has happened isn't worthless and having an understanding of how humans work is not worthless.Knowing what happened in detail is worthless, there is no practical use for it. You cannot base how humans work on the past, people and their minds were different back then, and they were stupider. If you want to understand how humans currently work then you have to observe and examine the present, not past. Unless how they work is based on how it worked in the past, that they learned the past to make decisions in the present. But that would be stupid 'cause things have changed... The past is not exactly compatible with the present.So your saying that anyone who has made more or just has more is greedy and stole it?Overpricing products or services, paying low wages. Not all but a lot of them (most of them), enough to make an impact toward the worse.You understand that some will always do better than others and your not obligated to give away any excess you have made.And what is the point of keeping something you will never use (not talking about personal objects with personal value)? There is no point, other than greed of course. With no money this would not be an issue, it literally couldn't exist. Or would they simply hoard products, raw materials, and such? They would need large storehouses for all that... and it would impact economy, meaning they and their issues would be dealt with.Wrong, most people take leading positions for the power, money is also a factor, but if you got rid of money do you honestly believe that corrupt people who only care about their well being would end up in charge or find a way to get control? People will always want power and people will always want to control others., eliminating money will stop their motives or them from achieving them.There would be less greedy morons wanting to get to leading positions if there were no money. There would also be no money to buy people off, to make others support them. People also wouldn't support them simply because they got paid to do so, because it was their job. All they would have would be their thoughts and opinions, and that's all they could use to influence people. Even if they managed to lie their way through... they have the power, then what? Start messing things up? People would notice...There are also those who want power for the right purposes, to use it to make things better and keep them advancing, but that's a much smaller number (currently anyway).Learning and mistakes are human nature, but mistakes will stupid at times and people will not always learn.Some won't, not all. But all make them and all do learn, although not from every mistake. If someone did something stupid it does not necessarily mean that that person is stupid (there are many factors that can influence actions).
