Comment on Imagine everything humans could accomplish if we were not a commerce based civilization.

Then I’d proceed in this fashion until I have a group of people who can take whatever they want. Then I’d be able to start ordering people to do things.
If at any point anyone tells me “hey you can’t do that” then I’d just get a group of people to hurt or kill them.
They would then get together a group of people to try and stop me.
Then the rest of people would start to pick sides aaaaand ah fuck we have a rudimentary government. And war and social stratification.

So you'd start off by getting shot? Or do you think people are just going to give you their stuff?
Problem solved.

It’s an equal society, so if they have a gun, I have a gun. So I’d shoot them first. Or I’d point the gun at them and tell them to drop their gun and then do what I told them to if they don’t want to get shot.
