I hope people will recognize that the Monetary system needs to be replaced with a Resource system. The monetary system produces modern day slavery robbing people from the ability to love.

Matt, you won't be saying that after Bernanke finally drives it into the ground. Once Greece defaults, Germany will pull out, then it's only a matter of time... You can't triple the money supply and expect to not turn us into the Weimar Republic of America.

Resourced Based Economy is new and hasn't been done yet to encompass so much criticism. Capitalism has failed, is failing and will fail inevitably. Yet gaining so much hope. Changing directions of capitalism just prolongs the crash. You would almost be convinced that the American Dream is praising temporary gains and long-term failures. (Maybe the case)

I am curious about this resource based economy, give me the basic idea. -- I will investigate.

My vision would be the electric standard. It was originally proposed by Thomas Edison and Jefferson. The only reason the idea did not catch on was because electricity was not widely used yet. www.energybackedmoney.com -- this is the basic idea.

In a nutshell, a Resource-Based Economy would alleviate as many human labor jobs as possible and replace it with mechanization of labors. A percentage of the population may be needed to help out but the idea is that with all the new technology we could have all the necessities of life provided for everyone in abundance and at the same time create resources with maximum sustainability to avoid waste, as the market system uses planned obsolescence in order to continue the process of cyclical consumption.

The RBE would generally take care of everyone, re-educate people into being themselves and use clean energy tactics, one's that conflict with the market system like solar, wind or thermal energy. Oil now is the most profitable.

To really understand it, here is a link to a documentary that will clarify the system, goals, and how to pursue it.

It's about 2 and 1/2 hours long so watch when you have time.

I will watch this one later but I did just watch a synopsis video.

I don't believe that a resource based economy is possible, yet. The human species will still have issues with crime, dysfunctional families, people hoard by nature.

It almost seems as if we would have complete police dominated state. There are too many "lazy" people that they would clog the system - not returning stuff -- trying to gather more so they don't have to get it as often.

After you watch the video, it should clarify. In turn, you're right about the issues as it would take tremendous efforts to undo the generations of indoctrination. A few professors speak on the causes of such behaviors of humans but disproves the idea it's human nature and shows it's based on environmental influences, propaganda, etc. But everyone has to understand, not just a few.
