You Can't Have Cutthroat Competition

We Need Each Other To Do Things That We Can't Do For Ourselves. If We Are Intimately Connected With Each Other, We Just Give Things To Each Other; If We Don't Know Each Other We Find Another Way To Handle It. If You Think About It, Each According To His Or Her Abilities And Each According To His Or Her Needs Is Sort Of The Same Thing As Supply And Demand.

It's True That Most American Citizens Think Of Themselves As Living In A Democratic Country. But When Was The Last Time That Any Americans Actually Sat Down And Came To A Collective Decision? Maybe If They Are Ordering Pizzas, But Basically Never.

You Can't Have Cutthroat Competition When There's No One Stopping You From Actually Cutting Each Other's Throats. In Order To Build Up Trust We Also Have To Think About Each Other's Needs And It Creates An Entirely Different Dynamic.
