To me that sounds like socialism - a perfect system if it just weren't for those pesky people and their deeply ingrained selfishness and desire to gain more status, power and wealth.

Agile is a system that ignores how power and status plays work in companies which almost always makes it into a miserable system for everyone involved.

Well agile is rooted in anarchism's self-organization. It is meant to evolve in a collaborative shell. I think the main factor of trouble is that we want to implement Agile principles in competitive driven companies. They are not looking for customer's satisfaction, they are looking for customer's money.

Anarchy is great on a very small scale, but that's not what most anarchists have in mind.

Perhaps it works best when the customer's money comes only when the customer is satisfied?
