Well the idea that no workers would ever have any disputes was your contribution to the discussion, not a claim I ever made. Of course they would have disputes, and those disputes would be dealt with democratically. You like democracy, I assume?

My point in bringing up climate change is that people like to bring up the current system as a working model. But it doesn’t work at all. If we continue doing things the way we are we are cooked.

How many times has diplomacy ever solved a dispute? Munich 1938 is a great example on why they usually only delay the inevitable

Diplomacy is like an oxygen supply: You only notice it when it fails. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t generally work.

I mean, do you have a genuinely better alternative than a democracy with some rules to prevent ogliarchys and protect citizens rights?

That’s definitely not the same as having no private property

If someone hates what you said they’re just stupid

Presumably it works some of the time. My country doesn’t descend into war every time there’s an election.
