Reply #12: Yes, it's exactly the same

the whole world can live the same way as the 'advanced capitalist' societies in the world. You were the one who asked about totally equal societies, and they have existed and will again. We are closer to them than we have been for thousands of years.

Good gawd no...why would anyone want to go back to some dreary agrarian society?

Try the technological advances of the 21st century.

I don't recall saying the whole world will arrive at the same point at the same time...but we are all moving towards that point. Again you are expecting Nirvana on some world wide time scale.

Wasn't that long ago, the 'western world' was burning people at the stake. Some US states still fry people, even retarded ones, or very young ones.

What is with this 'instant gratification' stuff? Progress is uneven, has setbacks, and takes time. But it always happens nonetheless.

It will never do so if you give up at the slightest sign it isn't the Garden of Eden though.
