¿Capitalism, Communism, or Kingdom of Ends?

Step I: we all stay separate and powerful over our own dot of influence — isolated from all the other dots

Step II: we expand our dot of influence to encompass all the dots and it becomes an all-encompassing sphere (within communication range)

Step III: we could take turns recognizing the unique power of each dot (within communication range) in a trade-off way, and interact rather than staying completely separate or just conglomerating into one that negates all the others (which is done by both step I & II)

Question: That one that negates all the others (& not just by ignoring rather than exploiting the other dots)… is that capitalism or communism?

Question 2: Since we never started out isolated, what sort of thing is step three (everything is within their communication range) that we can never quite arrive at, but only depart from (as we so obviously have)?

Hi, self. Nice talking to you today.

We have no Hope because we think it is impossible to arrive at mutual recognition—and it is. If we knew “mutual recognition” is the eternal (ontologically prior) situation we merely departed from, wouldn’t we have hope that we can return to it, so it (they) can help us achieve it (mutual recognition) within our communication range (sphere of influence)?

Hi, self. Indeed! Yes and yes!

That’s so awesome. What an exciting and enthralling conversation this has been with myself, that is, you.
