gollark: I mean, some of the issues I have would be gone without market systems, yes, but you would then introduce new much bigger ones.
gollark: No, I like that one.
gollark: The problems I have with our system are more about issues we ended up with than the entire general concept of markets.
gollark: You could complain that this is due to indoctrination of some sort by... someone, and maybe this is true (EDIT: but you could probably just change that and it would be easier than reworking the entire economy). But you can quite easily see examples of people just not actually caring about hardships far away, and I think this is a thing throughout history.
gollark: What I'm saying is that, despite some problems, our market system is pretty effective at making the things people involved in it want. And most people do not *actually* want to help people elsewhere much if it comes at cost to them.
