A good -ism should not outsource the control mechanism. Capitalism only maintains balance on average because everyone spends tons of time and energy trying to push it in the direction most favorable to them.

The open source community is already post-scarcity, and it works, not just in theory but with actual real live humans.

Yeah, what use is democracy when every corporation is a limited liability dictatorship, and they own everything?

...how come every big company is a miniature dictatorship?

I'm making a note here: Huge success!

I suggest Hz. This is an attack frequency of almost 521 kHz.

Excellent. You sure showed that straw man what's what.
