    Everyone forms communes that reflect their personal values. I would prefer one with direct democracy, and no representatives.

    However big a commune you want, but I’d recommend keeping it at 2000 people or less. Anymore and people start to see each other as strangers, not community members. Plus direct democracy works better with smaller population numbers.







  • If everything is to be shared under communism, wouldnt that include political power? That would make communism a direct democracy. Does that sound like the countries you have in mind?

    Perhaps there is a better unknown way to live our lives that we haven’t discovered yet. How would we ever discover it if we just allow the status quo to persist? Capitalism doesn’t even have tens of thousands of years of precedent like feudalism has. We unmake feudalism in much of the world, one day we will unmake Capitalism.

    I bet a large portion of the population would agree that how we live our lives… is bullshit and needs to be replaced. We just don’t agree with what to do next.

    we should try new things until everyone’s needs are met. This way of life is worthless as it only works for the 1%.
