    Notes:

      gollark: Yes, I am sure everyone will spontaneously decide they support the same specific political/economic/social system and self-organize into that?
      gollark: If your system cannot be deployed without immediately switching everything over to it, then honestly it's pretty bad and I don't want it.
      gollark: It will probably have to interact with markets, but be like Haskell™ and just limit the scope of such IO.
      gollark: One country can individually rearrange itself to be more socialist in whatever way you think is good.
      gollark: That's pretty stupid.
