¶ Politics (2)
Index Entry
Politics:
"It seems perfectly clear that when there is enough to go around, man will not fight any more than he now fights for air. When man is successful in doing so much more with so much less that he can take care of everybody at a higher standard, then there will be no fundamental cause for war.
"In the years ahead, as man does become successful, the root cause of war will be eliminated. Scientists assure us over and over again that this is feasible. There can be enough energy and organized capability for all men to enjoy the whole Earth.
"This is the most important prediction I can make: in 10 years from now we will have changed so completely that no one will say that you have to demonstrate your right to live, that you have to earn a living. Within 10 years it will be normal for man to be successful-- just as through all history it has been the norm for more than 99 percent to be economic and physical failures.
“Politics will become obsolete.”
