Stop serving materialism? Isn't that what the communists do? In their model everything pretty much goes to pot. Wouldn't a more responsible type of materialism be in order. I always get nervous when I hear people say we should be less materialistic, because it immediately brings to mind a severely impoverished society being led by the few at the top who don't mind owning everything.

first it depends on your definition of poverty. does sleeping on a park bench at night mean impoverished? what about food, does no food means impoverished. its nice to have a warm house to sleep in absolutely. but theres always a comparison being done driven by greed, status symbols. theres status symbols just about everywhere you look that people attach meaningless meaning to. we arent content with surplus food, always flowing tap water and a place outside of the woods to live in.

communism the state utilizes the serfs efforts, and the serfs can only hope some if it comes back their way. the few up top do more than not mind ownin everything, they believe its their rigt to do what they wish with everything at the end of a gun. right now here, as a whole we dont labor the land for food, transactions with electrons get us our food. to obtain electrons time must be put in. sometimes work gets done in this time, sometimes its just time passing. at least in more ancient times slaves were given housing and food for slave labor, now we are illusioned with freedom to do slave labor in exchange for housing and food. only because we believe electrons have the value they state it to be.

yea, electrons which we think is the answer to everything have more value than human life. what would our govt do if everyone just stopped worrying about electrons. started farming their own food, building personal water filtration systems, helpin neighbors stay warm in the cold weather. they wouldnt just be fine with it because that is their hold on power, they would roll the tanks in, either kill most everyone or lock them up. the population would be less, but remaining people would become afraid and would submit to their will because they have the bigger guns. this time is even more crucial to stay strong with the light, because those up top need fear for control, so alright they comandeer life, is it better to slave labor and not be allowed to live life outside of their electron credit?

the light outlasts, and can only be snuffed out by those who choose to let it go. it is our personal connection that determines how bright it shines, if we let fear overcome then that is because we chose to let it overcome and deserve to be enslaved. it is our connection with god that matters, electrons in circuitry? what happens when the circuitry is fried? they wont be there any longer, but the connection with god does not rely on an economy.
