So socialism isn't obtainable with current technology?
And who's going to clean the toilets?
Yeah, that's totally how it works in real life.
No. What I'm saying is that I haven't seen it work in reality. I can imagine a society where it might work. I can imagine anything. That doesn't mean it's attainable.
The capitalism hellscape that is Japan has the children cleaning their schools to teach them autonomy and mutual respect. You can easily organize a company like that with correct education.
And Japan is an example of a society that functions without coercion?
I think I made clear that Japan is not an example of society when I said "capitalism hellscape that is Japan". But it's a real life society that made something like Pissed proposed work.
If you call education coercion that is a you problem.
