[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4384100, member: 63706"] Groups of people organize themselves into hierarchies (which is another reason anarchy doesn't work). How is a tribal chieftain, or clan elder different than the state? Scale. I will leave it at that for now. We are discussing much too large of topics to cover succinctly. Actually, I brought up a drive that is specific to humans, the awareness of our impending death. We also have the capability of envisioning a future, and taking steps to bring about that vision. We have been wrestling with those abilities since we first noticed them. Environment may impact expression of genes, but it still doesn't change the things that drive us. Maybe if we figure out immortality, I will grant you that would absolutely impact our nature. We would necessarily become something entirely different than human. Aside from that, I'll leave the discussion of epigenetics for another time. Market economies, are the natural result of humans interacting with each other and trading, each for his or her best interest. Socialism is a belief that markets can be made more efficient through state control, and Capitalism is the same belief about individual control. What we end up with, since both are idealogical, is something in the middle. The question I have for you, if you don't care much for either, is what is the alternative? [/QUOTE]
