Imagine if your printer was also your car. That’s what owning a Tesla is like.

    I will agree with you only in the context where “Communism” is sought directly. In that situation, the power vaccuum in which discussions have weight are ALWAYS userped by some local, pre-existing authority, who almost always go for full authoritarian control with the language of “Communism”.

    By now, most communists that aren’t just Tankies (those who idolize “Strong Men” while using leftist language) understand that “real” communism is simply a state of being where commercialized needs are no longer an existant concept after implementing enough socialistic and humanistic policies. As in, policies that benefit normal people before corporations or the rich who already have what they need.

      The thing is, communism and capitalism are basically monetary systems. They aren’t power systems. No matter how a country’s finances are set up, there’s always some assholes who eventually manage to claw their way to the top and get very rich off of their power, and bring everything crashing down because they will always want more.

        That’s why anyone who is knowledgable and serious about it knows that it IS NOT a direct goal to seek. It is a state of being after you’ve gotten past all the rich fucks and power hungry. Yes, that likely means it is impossible to attain, especially in our lifetimes, but that doesn’t make it a bad target when approached properly.
