it is true what you wrote about communism, capitalism and socialism. But I do not at all agree with your idea of allowing everyone to do what he or she wants to do (I think we call this anarchy). This does not at all work with human beings: What if someone just wants to own something that is owned by someone else? He can not achieve his dream without restricting the other one's rights or freedom.
It's of course easy to talk about a wonderful, peaceful world, but we're not in a world of hugs, we're in a world of bucks. Money is all that really counts. (Almost) everywhere.
What is true is that we all can try to create a peaceful world in our imagination, be it in literature, be it in paintings or elsewhere. Ocean Girl is such an imagination.
Hugs (not bucks!) and kisses,
