    Lol uhh ok, sure so no one is in power, and there is a reward system for people who work harder…sounds like capitalism a bit…but do go on and tell the class how communism has never been tried, and there is no structure and everyone is equally provided for no matter what they do.

      I’ve already explained to you over and over again, it’s really quite exhausting.

      1. Communism is a post-socialist society, where there is no state.

      2. Working harder or longer for more is not Capitalism. Capitalism is about having individual Capital Owners who pay wage laborers to create commodities. If the community shares said Capital, it can’t be considered Capitalism, even if some people are paid more or less.

      3. People have attempted to build Communism, but never got beyond Socialism so far.

      4. There is a structure, just not a state.

      5. It’s a post-socialist society, ie productivity is high enough that everyone can be provided for adequately. We’re actually already there, we just don’t distribute properly.

        Lol so lala land with Star Trek replicators…none of what you have said works outside of paper.

        You’re describing a fantasy land.

            Lol no for your scenario you absolutely do. Do you think all the food and physical labor magically exists? Do you think people aren’t going to want what someone else has if they have more “rewards”? Communism doesn’t work, because we’re are not ants… we’re humans and humans are creatures that for the mass portion of the population will step on others to get what they want.

              If you can get something via cooperation, you’ll do it. Pretty simple. Humans are more communal than competitive.

                No we are not, sure in small numbers when small villages and tribes existed because they had to for survival. That shit isn’t going to magically kick in when it’s time for everyone to go harvest food. You have a very naive understanding of humans.

                  Good thing I didn’t say that, lol.

                  You don’t have to be a Communist, just stop acting like you know what you’re talking about when you make incorrect authoritative claims like “Communism assumes everyone works for the same outcome” and “Communism assumes people don’t want more.”

                  It’s incredibly easy to not have opinions about subjects you don’t understand, I encourage you to try!
