Hi Platt,
If Wilber's vision of all people unconditionally caring for their fellow
humans ever comes to pass, than we will have communism.
A world full of buddha state people will have no desire for material wealth
of any kind. Each person will be mutualy supported by their freinds and days
will be spent in joy and happiness contemplating the nature of the One.
Jesus was a communist?
Blissful communism will not happen because human kind is inherently
unpleasant to a sickening degree. Anyone who even suggests acting like Jesus
or Buddha would be castigated and mistrusted - eventually socially killed or
worse.
There are few species capable of destruction on Human scaling.
Capitalism is about power.
Power is a social privileging of biological domination of resources and
people.
You as an advocate of capitalism perpetuate this status quo, and it sounds
the death knell for any truly holy man or woman.
All the best,
Squonk.
