At some point, the "like in Europe" argument is going to wear itself out, and folks will wince at the mention of it. I already do because I know that if shit like this worked, the ghettos would be full of art instead of used rubbers, discarded needles, abandoned buildings, and garbage. Indian reservations would be cultural mecccas of art and creativity instead of run down shacks and discarded whiskey bottles.
Just saying...
That if they didn't have to make a living for their crust of bread that it will be just paradise.
That intellectuals will order society, and every man a king would work in real life.
Prime example of this is H.G. Wells.
How he KEPT being a socialist after WWII is a mystery to me.
Maybe he just gave up after realizing that his childish dreams of Utopia caused nothing but death and misery, and he didn't want to admit that much of his life's philosophy was pure BS.
That's a hell of a thing to admit on your deathbed.
