Your answer is something you want to force into the conversation, not what OP asked.

You're not wrong, but that's not the conversation man.

Yeah, the reason we don't have those isn't technological. We could have it today if we collectively decided that we wanted it.

Well, that plus militant organizing

That’s not really how it works, or we’d already have them. People in China have those things because they beat the fascist KMT back to Formosa, and by force subordinated the bourgeoisie and the remnants of feudalism.

As it is written in the Śūraṅgama Sūtra:

It is like when someone points his finger at the moon to show it to someone else. Guided by the finger, that person should see the moon. If he looks at the finger instead and mistakes it for the moon, he loses not only the moon but the finger also. Why? It is because he mistakes the pointing finger for the bright moon.

Recently quoted by Bruce Lee, than in the movie Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain
