I understand that there is this ideal that everybody should have an abundance of all that is life giving and joy making. But if the reality is that that is not realistic, how does one calculate on how much and in what way all the goods will be distributed.

What "system" makes it possible for everybody in it to be satisfied?There are some, like the Amish. And there are religious communities who find equal satisfaction in the promises of their faith. I may be wrong, but I doubt those kind of systems would satisfy everyone. Maybe there is not one "ideal" system. Maybe we should be free to join or create one that satisfies us. Or maybe the closest to the ideal would be one in which everyone can find their own personal happiness which would depend on many different things, not just the differences in paychecks.

The only ones happy in the Amish society are the males who rape their sisters, their daughters and control the minds of those living in fear, better find a better role model.

Yeah, but that's not supposed to be part of the "system." Don't think you can find or create a "system" which won't have miscreants. On the other hand, Huxley's Brave New World comes close. Don't think you'd like that system though.

And if the Amish rapists were democrats running for presidemt, no one would care.

You're usually a lot more lucid than this. This is wdmso territory in lacking clarity. Are you saying that I claimed that the Amish were a happy low income family not needing their part of the pie. Did I mention any families not needing their part of the pie? Did I specify any part of any pie? Are you referring to my "Many are satisfied with "barely" making a living wage. It keeps them living and able to have sex, watch TV, enjoy meals, get a good nights sleep . . . and, if they catch a spark of an idea, do better"? Are you referring to the rich who don't keep up with the richer rich?

Or something or someone entirely different?

My response was to the rubbish you posted, where everyone in an Amish society is happy. Nothing could be farther from the truth, the men rule, they rape their sisters, their wives and probably anything with a hole that fits their “manhood”.
