Is it possible to create a political socioeconomic system in which nobody has to work?

Isn't that the system Marx created?

Like it or not: Isn't that the system we've been moving inexorably toward at least since FDR? The only thing which ever varies is the general rate of movement & the particular sectors of collectivization that a given administration advances.

Marx's system wasn't successful.

In his system, the people were the slaves, not robots.

And people had to work, not live lives of luxury.

" Isn't that the system Marx created? "

There is Marx who wished to create an egalitarian society so that all would be provided for. The only problem is that an elite group of rulers are required to assign who receives what benefits.

There is "Utopia" by Sir Thomas More, but that requires a benevolant King to make the same decisions as above.

There is the ideal society envisoned by Plato, but it requires supreme authority be vested in a few of the intellectually superior citizens to decide how to dispense the profits of a wealthy society.
