I agree with this whole heartily.. I can only imagine a utopian world supporting many more people to draw talent from, and where we cleaned up our act on every level and got rid of our borders and agreed on a global system that worked to benefit everyone..You are correct though..We, by nature, operate tribally and not en masse, so my vision would never work. We aren't bees.

Go watch Lord of the Flies. Some people are always more equal than others. The strong will always dominate the weak and garner more resources to themselves, even to the point of killing the weak.
It happens under every economic system. It certainly happened under Marxist Communism just as under western Capitalism . . . and also on desert islands among shipwrecked survivors.
