>yeah yeah muh 4chan culture, been here for years. i know how the game works.

what's your basis for this?
Free will.

If a rich man is obligated to spend his money on other people, it's hardly his own money in the first place, and the only way you're going to be able to get him to spend the money that way if he doesn't want to is to take it by force. You are advocating that the government ought to Robin Hood the 1%, and that's stealing, and wrong. Those men might be faggots for holding onto the money the way they do (the real root of the problem being this and the federal reserve destroying the value of the dollar, effectively stealing from everybody), but they got that money fair and square. I'm sure if they were caught breaking the law to make it, they wouldn't take it too personally either, because a capitalist system treats everyone fairly.

>It's about the transition to a society where the attainment of more and more and more wealth is not the end goal
What you're describing is social engineering. You want to tell people how to think, and it will never work, is probably impossible, and immoral. It is not your place to tell you

>this is why socialism is difficult to impossible to maintain in one state
>In one state
If what you're getting at is a socialist Earth, what you've accomplished is no different than caging him in a socialist state. You are still keeping him from existing in a economic climate of his choosing, you've simply eliminated your competition, which would make the only successful socialist system a monopoly.
How unironic, considering what I said earlier.

>the naked profit motive doesn't have to be all there is
It still isn't, but for a lot of people, it is. The strength of a capitalistic system is that even people who act selfishly work to increase the country's economic value. This is a problem that the communist system cannot evade. Anyone simply looking out for themselves is going have absolutely no motivation to create anything of value, and will have to be coerced into working.

>the first world is where it is because of all the people at risk of starving everywhere else.
Debatable, but economics is a zero sum game. There is only so much wealth and value to go around, and better me than the asshole giving me the finger across the Atlantic/Pacific. Those people are not my responsibility, they are their own responsibility.

So /lit/ how would a person get into writing something that could be adapted for tv or film?
I'm not asking /tv/ because they don't know shit about writing, plus there are notable recent literary examples like Game of Thrones.

I'm not saying I'm trying to turn any of my ramblings into a hit series, but it remains an interesting prospect nonetheless.

What do you guys think? Heavy on the characterization, obviously. How do you feel about subplots in tv and books that take a long time, maybe even several installations to really come to fruition?

ITT interesting outlets for aspiring writers general
