Wow, that was amazing. All those words and not one fact. You are missing the point of this disscussion. Humans will be humans no matter what planet they are on.
Dictators become powerful over people by gathering strong arms around them and then assume power. NOT by obeying the law, but by ignoring it. Your utopia cannot exist without eliminating freewill.
What I want to know from you is, "How do you propose to alter human behaviour in such a fundemental way?"
As you can see I beleive the founding fathers of the United States of America had it right. Would you rather Hitler won WWII. His fascist/socialist plan would have fit what you describe. Other choices include Cuba, where you can have a diet of around 250 calories a day while you watch politicians ride around in Mercedes, or go back to the former (Note: Former) Soviet Union where while waiting in line for 8 hours to buy bread you watch the politicos drive by in their (Wait for it...) Mercedes.
It is not possible for socialism (even StarTrek socialism) to work. Where there are humans, there is corruption.
Now go wrap yourself in your red flag and swim to Cuba.
NONE OF THIS COMMUNICATION WOULD BE POSSIBLE IF NOT FOR CAPITALISM. I can't think of any communist/socialist/fascist/leftist states that have this kind of standard of living. Can you?
Capitalism is here to stay. When you grow up and quit smoking you will realize that I am right.
