Why They Can't Exist

There are a lot of people out there that have high hopes and ideals for man kind. They've come up with these great ideas on how we can live and all be happy. The only problem is none of their ideas can exist because they require the ideal human but are subject to real humans.

Communism/Marxism: This is not to be confused with what we currently see in different world governments. There is no such thing as a true communist government currently (or ever) in this world. The current governments that you see calling themselves communist are actually just dictatorships. True communism calls for everyone to be equal and distribution of goods to be fair. In a true communistic society there would be no supreme leader as seen in China or North Korea. This ideal way of living can never exist due to human nature. It is natural for humans to want to gather as much for themselves and their families to live comfortably. They naturally compete for resources and horde them for a rainy day. It is in our nature to want to have more than the family down the street. I think I will discuss further on why communism can't work in another entry that is all about the inevitable requirement for rich and poor.

Anarchy: A society with no leadership is not a society at all. This is an ideal government only worshipped by young rebellious teens. They build up in their mind that because the government is the problem that no government would solve all the problems. This is an overly simplistic and childish way of thinking. It's like a man who has been shot saying that all the problems in this world are guns, if we get rid of guns all of our problems will go away. The man doesn't put two and two together and realize that guns aren't the problem, it's the man pulling the trigger. If he saw that man pulling the trigger he might think OK get rid of the man, there will always be another man to replace him. A solitary human can manage quite well on their own. But when you get men together in a group they begin to follow what's called Mob Mentality. They will naturally look for a leader and follow them. Even the rebellious teens find a rebel leader. Men are lazy, if someone else offers to do their thinking for them they tend to let them. Don't get me wrong their are men that think for themselves and those are often the men that find themselves in leadership positions. What do you think organized religion is? Humans allowing other people to do their thinking for them. A true state of anarchy can not exist for longer than it takes the humans in it to organize themselves and find a natural leader. This could be hours or days but likely not much longer than a few weeks. The people that idealize about anarchy are the teenagers that still view themselves as immortal. They fantasize about taking what ever they want and roaming the streets free. They never think about people bigger, stronger or smarter than them stealing from them, hurting them or even killing them. Anarchist at their core are naive.

Utopia: What is utopia? It is my theory that in this world the religious person to god ratio is at least 1 to 1. Every single religious person has their own god and the reason I saw at least is some of them have more than one god. Ask a human some questions about his or her god and all of their answers will differ at least slightly. Every one's god agrees with them on everything (fuck their god even likes it's pizza the same way). No one person is exactly alike so no one god is exactly alike. Why did I go off on what seems like a tangent? Because no two people's gods are exactly alike just like no two people's Utopias are exactly alike. A utopia is essentially heaven. The idyllic place where everything is perfect and nothing ever goes wrong... gee Skippy I wonder why that can't exist. You would first have to discover the perfect society of humans to ever get a utopia and that doesn't exist.
