I honestly do not care about the market model. It is irrelevant(1), what is relevant are the values a society respects or fails to respect. In pure capitalism, ecological behavior is possible, if ecological values are introduced. In pure communism likewise. Of course there are other values which would need much more respect, like freedom and human rights, but I am not going further on this as this would be OT even for this thread. Cheers Robert (1) and resistance is futile, BTW I like the conclusion of ST Voyager particularly because it shows the vulnerability of a centralized system and that holds for Star fleet HQ as well as for the Queen of Borg. Permaculture can definitely help here :)
