What Does This Tell You ?

I guess a big difference is, everyone retiring with FULL  purchasing power as opposed to very few.

And the system operates under the principle of contribution through cooperation...more of a resource management pool than a simple person to person barter.

Personal comments do not belong in debate...unless they are complimentary.

Cap-z-ro,

What is your definition of concrete evidence?

I find much irony in your comments about it.  (This is not a personal remark, btw)

Not sure what you're referring to.

You are describing some kind of communist utopia.  From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs, right?

That is a really nice system to think about, but there is no evidence that it would work in practice.  My theory is that there is too much opportunity for free riders and there is little incentive to excel and compete. 

To the extent communism has been attempted, it has been a spectacular failure.

It appears as though you are too preoccupied with applying labels to things before you've achieved comprehension of the subject matter.

Communism has no place in this discussion...you need to go back and read the descriptive.
