Got it - this evinces a certain idealism that ignores some pretty glaring stuff that defined the Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. All the places that either outright outlawed profit, or otherwise viewed it as evil.

Also regarding your list - what a weird view - that there's angelic spheres where we somehow transcend human behavior.

You only have to look at the scandals of the knitting community to see that no one is immune to toxicity.
