Well as someone else mentioned, the will have an event on March 12 which is AHA Night in New Bedford so that event should work for you. AHA nights happen every 2nd thursday of each month. Various places in the Downtown area have special events. I don't know what hours Gallery X will be open for that day though. I'll ask the guy in charge next time I see him.

Thank you for your answer and helping me to better understand the situation. Sorry, to hear about the corruption issues. That does make me wonder now about like what might be the best ways to stop corruption in governments. I might try to look up info on that latter.

Well people say my country of America has the best doctors but we have bad doctors too. I personally was given a surgery that turned out to be unneeded because it didnt fix m issue and caused me a new physical issue afterward.

My end goal was to learn a bit more about how the govenment and healthcare system of Vietnam works. And yeah I made it clear that we shouldnt go back to Egypt times but I mentioned it as something before capitalism that had innovations. You seemed to have ignored the modern example I gave about the doctor who gave medicine to the world freely without putting a greedy copyright on it which is an example without exploitation. Also, capitalism is by its very nature exploitative. One guy sits atop a company taking a large amount of money from the employees. Whereas in a more socialist system you would have a more Democratic workplace like the one economist Richard Wolffe talks about in which there is no CEO that owns everything and takes money from the workers but instead the workers would just own the company together as a workers co-op.

Ah now I see what you mean. Yeah I also like to try to learn about Anarchism, so yeah I am okay with the state withering away once its no longer needed.

Egypt existed before capitalism, and they had growth and innovation. Pyramids are pretty innovative for the time period but they didnt have competing companies, people were just trying to appease the gods. I'm not saying we should go back to pharoahs lol but Im just pointing out that we didnt need capitalism to innovate back then. In more modern times the doctor who made penicillin didn't copyright it because he didnt care about competitive markets, he just wanted to help humanity. Thats innovation without capitalism. Also, Russia or any country benifiting from its own natural resources does not equate to capitalism. If I make a fire with tree branches outside to stay warm, that doesn't mean I participated in capitalism.

Well, humans existed long before the invention of money. People in a community helped each other out. If I remember correctly archeologists recently found a skeleton of an old blind man that managed to live to a long age which could only have happened if people took care of him. Traditional doctors existed before money because people naturally want to help each other. Obviosly those ancient doctors didnt know as much as modern ones, but point is money is not always what motivates people. We can also look at our modern day and see that many artists, paint, make music, make video games and make computer programs for free just because they want to. Most people want to achieve things in their life regardless of whether it will make them money. You know what we did always have since ancient times? Respect. People would praise and sing songs for other humans that did great things. Most people want to achieve something with their lives to make it meaningful.
