well i say if we can go from feudalism to mercantilism to capitalism then why not capitalism to socialism to communism? its again distributing power from the top to the lower status classes, we saw similar in feudalism to mercantilism.

Wealth distribution is not equal under communism. Most is owned by the state, the privileged class still exists. The underprivileged class also exists.

• wealth distribution should be equal under communism, wealth not being equal means we must do better. we don’t look at corrupt corporations and think “to bad its fucked best not make any more”
• under socialism most would be owned and redistributed by the state. communism is worker lead and not state lead at least in my school of socialism.
• under socialism the unprivileged class gets lifted through the transitional period. class distinctions are to be removed through the transitional period leading to a classless communist society.

Communism tends to be inefficient and less productive than capitalism, so a lot less is produced. This is demonstrated time and again. People just don’t have a personal motivation to increases production for the state. Distribution is also inefficient. Historically it leads to hunger because central planning is less effective than a decentralized system where individuals are able to make decisions.

• i cant argue communism and its efficiency as i have yet to see it but i am sure socialism can be made to be more efficient. being from the UK and having the carcass of what was once our publicly owned NHS i know that after WW2 under a Labour government we saw the NHS rise from nothing within 3 years, Labour at the time were socialist. the NHS was revolutionary at the time. we also mass built affordable housing. these are all things we struggle to achieve now.

So while I agree that the current level of wealth inequality is not good, communism is certainly not the solution. All it does is change where the lines of inequality are drawn. It usually kills a few million people for no good reason, too.

so your a reformist?

Depending entirely on the form of communism. Right now the worlds richest 400 have a combined wealth amounting near 7 trillion. In a communist society world wide we could distribute that wealth globally to install water infrastructure, food infrastructure, vaccinate everyone and still have change in the bank to support other large projects.

And this is speaking purely finance. Here in the UK we have more than enough empty home to house all of our homeless.

The amount we work to the resources produced are wildly high, we could work a lot less if not for the bosses ever demanding more.

are you talking about climate change? or a jab at my enthusiastic post, or is this just a genuine message of sincerity? either way i spend most days out either campaigning or hiking, working.

I am speaking about corruption from a socialist point where what is deemed corrupt is not corrupt to the capitalist.

So your asking for a source is not so easy to offer, I’m sure you follow the news, and understand that money is influence, we constantly hear about back room deals. Just recently Labour retracted they’re promise of a cap on bankers bonuses after a conference with bankers.

They get a hefty bonus when retiring, I wonder if there’s a better way 🤔🤔

They look like this ( . )( . )

Yes and it sounds pretty good to me, although I’d draw the line at pegging 🫠

Good question, and highly dependent. I think for the most part I’d move to being friends.

Lol I like the latter more

I’m a guy.

Question: on several intimate occasions with more than a few partners I have notice partners will cup my pecks…

It makes me feel self-conscious and would like to know why some of you cup pecks? 🫠

I’m a fan of tight boxers, a cross between pants and boxers. (Pants) in uk are underwear.

Trumps wearing nappies though.

Worrying. Anxiety sucks…

Continuing as usual is defeat. The more votes for 3rd party the more broken the system will look, with this a campaign for real change could take place. Instead you want to bury your head in the sand.

AI could do it but this is fantasy, current ai would have everyone eating glue pizza lol.

Its called worker lead, classless society.

foss has a legally binding licence to support itself, this licence can be seen as a vanguard as it steers and protects the software, without the licence people would be sure to steal and monetise others works. But let’s say Foss became the defacto, everyone releases free fully open and no anti feature software, we could loss the vanguard and naturally a classless system would be present.

The governing body is the vanguard which is to downsize overtime and the country is to eventually shift to a worker lead government. It would be anarchy to deploy communism without first building the systems to allow for a workers lead government, especially off of the back from a greed riddled society and like wise surrounded by greed riddled capitalist countries.

I should also so that mention communism isnt often implemented against the will of the people, Russia pre communism was an awful place, low literary, low life expectancy and the working class/ peasantry were exploited by the west and ruling class. They had a long bloody civil war and held strong. Then after which things slowly improved under communism.

Communism can be flawed and a flaw it is, but let’s not forget that capitalism imposing indignity is capitalism working perfectly and is not a flaw. We reward greed.

So with this communism if used correctly can lead to prosperity.

I would like to point you towards reading about the transitional period, its an important part of communism and also reading about internationalism, essentially its very hard to move from a greedy society to communism and equally its hard to be a communist country while surrounded by greedy countries.
