We should kill work, period. This is not the way it always was, and it's not the way it always will be. This is a brief moment in evolution, a learning experience. If some didn't insist on having plenty more than others, there would be enough for everyone without anyone working for anyone; and once you have everything provided, helping out is the natural thing to do.

Sounds a bit like communism, but without anyone having any job. So yes, this should probably work out just fine.

Where is your trust in basic human values? The behavior you see around you is an effect of pressure from a completely artificial and destructive environment, regardless of what it's called. Using communism as some kind of crucifix for killing every suggestion of change is not working any more; change is coming, like it or not.

I think my environment is pretty good, optimistic and nice. People don't kill other people around here. We have a social support system.

When times get though, and this environment is gone, bad stuff happens.

Culture is only a small thin layer, that is gone the moment real problems arise. Just take a look at history, and you event don't have to go too far back. Look what's happening in the middle east right now.
