Something like this might have worked with a global population of a few tens of millions. Population currently sitting at 6.5 billion and rising, civilization is just waiting for collapse to occur.

If you were to line up every person on the planet, and only give a kiss to each lady and a handshake to each man, if you did nothing else 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 1/4 days a year, for the rest of your life- you could not meet them all. Even less likely that you could convince everyone everyplace to embrace this or that economic system.

The only reason I chose to reply to this thread is that today, while I was using a dirty public toilet, I was reading the bathroom graffiti on the wall. It actively encouraged everyone to become part of the Zeitgeist movement, to quote 'Free yourself from the bonds of working for money just to pay your debts, join now!'. Just goes to show how that movement has taken flight!

Such endearing naivete. All we have to do as a species is agree, the rich and famous well fed along with the poor impoverished wretch, on a common plan to save us all. I can see it now.
