Lots of us have been plugging away, building a platform to talk about libertarian communism and post-scarcity economics.
From a systematic standpoint, I think that capitalism is the best system. I can spend a lot of time explaining why I like communism, but it is actually not a good solution. Nor is socialism. So, capitalism is the right model.
