Who to change and how.

If you could change any one person on earth, who would you change and how would you change them?

No direct attacks, personal attacks or cross thread contamination,fighting words, general attacks, or hate speech.  

Not a call out thread, please dont tag others unless to conversate with.

I would make Trump a woman.

I would change myself back to how I was 40 years ago.

The only one I can change: me. I should not claim power to change anybody else. Besides, if I tried to change someone else, I'd be guilty of denial of a famous Oscar Wilde quote: "Be yourself; everyone else is taken."

And that is what I'd change: be more of myself. "To 'my' own self be true." [Wm Shakespeare] "And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." [Hamlet, I,iii]

Myself, I want to exist, not die, though hopefully dying is still some far off day.

Other people, my second brother,

Though when I say 'change, it's rather that I hope our persuasion would change him of his own free will, to quit drugs,

If it was 'forced change, I'm not sure I'd be for it,

Barring forced rehab,

But the word 'change is vague, there's change and then there's 'change.

Other people in the world? Important people?

I don't know.

Would changing various leaders 'really change their movements and countries?

Movements sometimes 'bigger than individuals,

Other's easy willing to take up the movement.

. . .

Maybe whatever guy has the most wealth that they aren't sharing,

If I could 'convince, not lobotomize change them, into sharing it,

Be good for people, I suppose.

Not sure It'd be good for the rich guy,

Also doubtful 'I'd want to change.

. .

Hm, maybe convince some rich guy to start up some Communist city or state,

Though again, not that 'I'd live there, probably,

But does 'sound nice, for there to be less inequality,

More time for ease, less work work work.

Actually, I believe that Capitalism naturally evolves into central planning, since increasingly more buisnesses are being owned by less people. It probably wont be Communism, but it will be central planning in a way.

I recall that Plato was of the view that governments tended to go through 5 different variations, in a cycle.

Of course 'any society lasts long enough, it's likely to change into 'something else, I would think.

I vaguely 'think I recall a number of Communists, might have been Marx,

Make the argument that Communism 'needed to evolve out of a well developed society, 'might have specifically been capitalism, I don't recall.

One of the arguments people make about Communism not doing so well in Russia, the lack of development, economically, infrastructure, so on,

Though really Russia at that time, and the Communist leadership, people, had 'many problems.
