I'm wondering why the concept even exists. It's obviously impossible to achieve peace and equality. We'd all have to be brainwashed, alienated masses of the same people with the same interests and beliefs, with the same exact everything so no conflict could happen. It's almost as if "peace and equality" is just an indirect way of leaving humanity for a dull and horrible life. Just think about it. We've only ASSUMED that peace and equality involved happiness, but we never applied logic to it.
I understand people want everyone else to be happy, but peace and equality aren't what we truly think that they are. |

We already attempted peace and equality. It was called communism."
"We'd all have to be brainwashed, alienated masses of the same people with the same interests and beliefs, with the same exact everything so no conflict could happen."
And that was exactly what happened when we tried communism |

"tfw a middle schooler attempts a philosophical debate" One, it's not a philosophical debate, and two, I'm a high-schooler. I'm just posting my honest belief on it, and I want to understand why everyone accepts peace and equality when it's a lot worse than people think. |

we never successfully attempted peace and equality on a significant scale that is impossible but peace and equality has a place in this world they are models that we work towards achieving so people around us can enjoy some life

"And that was exactly what happened when we tried communism" I won't support this because it interferes with others' political views, but all I'm going to say is that every human's attempt at peace has turned out to be a major failure. People call nature "peaceful" but everyone is out there to kill each-other. Equality and peace is an alien concept. |

"that was exactly what happened when we tried communism" Well, that's what was attempted when we tried communism. Brainwashed, yes. Peaceful and equal, no. |

"because people die horrible deaths in the alternative and people die boring deaths in this one." In my opinion, I'd rather have a wild and crazy death than having a boring death. At least my life would have SOME significance. It's like losing a grain of sand. What worth has it if it's like all the other grains of sand? |

Whoever brought communism in this topic is a moron.
None of you with your middle school or high school level education actually understand the concept of communism and how it was supposed to be intended.
Simply citing examples of real life countries is blindly ignoring the fact they failed because communism was very much unsustainable without capitalism and capitalism is very much unsustainable without communism. |

communism isn't supposed to be about brainwashing though it's supposed to be an economic system, but people who put it in place happened to bring propaganda into it which is why it only works out well on paper

| Anyways, a concept doesn't have to be achievable, OP. The point of this oasis society idea is to give us as our current society something to strive for. Peace and equality exist, just not as the destination. We can get exponentially close to this goal with the right cooperation. Would you rather have people murdering and stealing everywhere around the world, fearing for your life and the lives of those you love every day? Of course not. Some people do live like that, and the face that a society like OURS exists shows that we can move THEM close to peace and equality, and it also means that we ourselves can aim to be closer that that line. |
