It's not a good thing in the long run if someone can do that. I'd have loved the HSR from NCAL to SCAL, would have avoided all those hours on the 5.

There are pros and cons basically, there isn't a system that is perfect.

Yes, you're absolutely right, there's no such thing as a perfect system (and us communists aren't trying to pretend our system is perfect either, that's a common misunderstanding. The goal is "better" than what we currently have, not "perfect.")

But in the case of this example I would say the cons far outweigh the pros. A system that focuses on the people first and doesn't give the rich special priority and privileges would be a better society in general, wouldn't you?

For the greater good is definitely a good way to go. But I'd be careful about who decides what is good and what isn't.

In this case, I'd love HSR.

As opposed to what the US has now, which acts in the interest of the greater evil?

China has it's issues, but at least it represents the people (as evidenced by passing policies in the interests of the people over capital)?
