Under it, there’d be no infant mortality, no poverty, and the Easter Bunny would leave chocolates under everyone’s pillows bi-weekly.
All that’s required for this system to work is a society in which no one dies young, no one’s poor, and the Easter Bunny exists and is willing to contract out his labor for the distribution of chocolate.
What do you all think??
What about those of us allergic to chocolate? In a perfect government, true liberty would allow each honest, peaceful system to choose whether or not to receive chocolate.
And what of the oppression of the Easter Bunny? The bourgeious masters forcing labor upon such oppressed workers? Obviously, the system can only be perfect when rewards are given to those who work, and in this case the Easter Bunny receives no rewards?
And can we use ducks for currency? If so, my theory for a perfect utopia- everyone uses ducks for currency- will fit right in!
I think we’re half way there. My daughter’s book “The Country Bunny” clearly states that there is a wise old Easter bunny that selects 5 of the fastest, kindest and smartest bunnies the task to deliver chocolates to kids all over the world in one night.
The rest should be a snap. 
Can you define “young” and “poor” for us?
I like it!
As long as you stick in a clause about everyone having the right to use flying attack porcupines for personal protection.

Jeez, what’s with the questions?? Guys, I never claimed to have all the answers about this system! It’s never been tried before, and it’s not up to me to come up with the specifics. C’mon, you’re not being fair.
In fact, don’t think of this as a government–more of a context under which we can all be alive and rich and bechocolated.
I will say this, though: John, I don’t know why you think that everyone’s allergic to chocolate! Do you have that little faith in humankind? Look, the Easter Bunny and his chocolate make people happy. And if you’re against the Easter Bunny, you must be anti-happiness!
You don’t want to be anti-happiness, do you??
Will we still need to feed the immortal infants, or will they just draw sustenance from the air?
If we cut their heads off with swords will they still live, or will they get die and give us a “There can be only one!” kinda energy boost?
Those are irrelevant policy questions. Define “we.” Define “their.” Define “and.” Clearly, it would be up to each living, rich, bechocolated person to decide for themselves!

I never said I thought everyone was allergic to chocolate! I just said that not all peaceful, honest citizens will necessarily want chocolate, which means that having the Easter Bunny trespass upon their property in order to deliver a service that may actually be harmful to them is a violation of their peaceful, honest rights.
As for the Easter Bunny- certainly, his chocolate makes people happy. But is the Easter Bunny happy? Are those enslaved by the capitalists happy? He is forced to be a part of the opiate of the masses that is chocolate-covered religion, and yet we declare this a successful society? We must rise up in rebellion against this society, in order to free the oppressed Easter Bunnies of the world and unite them in class warfare against their oppressors!
Suppose there were three people, Person A, Person B, and Person C and they were in your government system. Suppose Person A lived near a sea-monster who liked to eat chocolate, but Person B and Person C didn’t live near the sea (or the sea-monster). Could Person A give Person B his chocolate? But then wouldn’t Person B have more chocolate then Person C? Could Person C get a share of Person A’s chocolate also? Could Person B and Person C force the Easter Bunny not to visit Person A’s property for fear that the sea-monster would eat him (the Easter Bunny)?
Also, would the sea-monster get visited by the Easter Bunny too? What about his rights?

Gad – the burden of proof falls on you to demonstrate your system is perfect. After all, we’ve got the majority and the guns, so our current system must be the right one.
John: I think you’re being deliberately obtuse by claiming that not everyone wants chocolate. Aren’t you familiar with the Liechtensteinian school of economics? How can you not see the benefits of a society without infant mortality and poverty? Quit putting up your little straw men in their little straw hats.
Obviously, you’re just a dupe of the chocolate industry. You must be in league with these people.
Down with the tyranny of the cocoa fascists!
Down with bunny slavery!
Only when peaceful honest bunnies are free to live their lives away from forced delivery of caffein-laden candies will we have a true utopia!
Your tortured hypotheticals clearly have no relevance, and I’ve dealt with them before on other threads.
Gilligan: You’re the one criticizing my system; the onus is on you to prove that we should have infant mortality and poverty! Obviously, you can’t do that.
xeno: Keep on trolling, troll. In my system we won’t have any troll bridges for trolly trolls like you.
I certainly see the benefits of a society without infant mortality and poverty- but at what costs? You’re trampling upon the rights of peaceful, honest Easter Bunnies to opt out of the capitalist slavery system of money. How can you truly call it a perfect system when the rights of non-chocolate eaters is run over by the tyranny of the bourgeious majority? After all, given the inalienable rights granted to Easter Bunnies by a God which does not exist because the State is all powerful and only an interference to natural rights…
Wait. I’m getting my utopian ideologies all mixed up. I’ll get back to you on this.
But I still think that ducks should be used as currency. After all, if perfect people use ducks as currency, it guarantees a perfect state.
I agree with xenophon41…it sounds like corruption from the chocolate special interest group…or the dental special interest group.
It depends on what the definition of “is” is.

I don’t think it is possible to change the U.S.A into this hypothetical Chocolatebunnyland that you are proposing.
Actually, it is clearly impossible to do so since it has never been done before.

I disagree.
You are recommending change, and everyone knows change is bad. Who knows where it could lead? Besides, if you don’t like the current system, you can just leave. Your continued presence here indicates your consent and acceptance of infant mortality and poverty.
