So much money ... None of it has gone to the poor and needy.

My visons of the Golden Age is a pure socialist state where everyone is equal. If there is the position of Emperor/King, its is just a title. There is no subject or ruler. Inequality gradually comes about when the earth becomes less fruitful and population increases (and the spiritual connection to the earth becomes broken ). Then the notion of kings who rule is enforced to organise and allocate the scare resources. The kings then grab more for themselves and become the rich. We see today when the population goes up the prices rise as well, due to the laws of supply and demand.

It sounds beautiful to me. I am glad to read another political pragmatist on the forum.

There are many Wings in the BKWSU but I do not believe that I have ever heard of a "Left Wing"! :D But I am not sure that even socialism goes far enough ... the entire world should be a commonwealth.
