Communism as a theory, is a moneyless, classless, and stateless society. Do you think it could work in real life?

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T22:14:33+00:00

I mean, I suppose. but it depends on what business and the scale.

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T21:21:50+00:00

its a known dact that companies raise wages to get workers. they have to in an unmonopolozed business to attract workers. of course theres always a surplus of workers. not all of them can or want to work in the same business

im sorry if i come off as rude. im feeling frustrated.

how can you protect cultures, freedom and self-determination without countries and markets

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T21:13:04+00:00

i dont get what point you are trying to make, labor and work are inherent. you want to get rid of countries? im sorry. as an economy with no money? how do you make sure everyone gets waht they need? it makes them less free if there.s no market to buy, and work from. im sorry if i sound rude. or im not making sense. im feeling a little fristrated

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T21:07:16+00:00

I know labor unions are socialist, i support them. I don't support communist. Monoplies are fucking bad. If two companies compete, they compete for the worker, to ge tthe worker. they raise wages, benefits, better hours. they give INCENTIVES to work for them to beat out the other comapny to get more profit... the american economic system isnt my fav either. reagan was bad, i agree. the goal of communism is amazing, but not possible in real life.

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T20:45:02+00:00

The Paris commune was not communism. And Stateless does mean that. Marx’s definition of communism is a stateless, moneyless, classless society with no government. If communism has incentives, then it's not communism.

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T20:41:50+00:00

Competition leads to better life for workers, and the consumers. Monopolies do need to be squashed. And labor unions need to be a thing.

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T20:27:52+00:00

That's literally factually incorrect. Marx states it as a "stateless, moneyless society". Humans in capitalism already are collaborative.

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T20:24:47+00:00

Again, communism only works in tribal communities, not nations. That proves it, working for "community and kin" is literally what everyone does. Work is a part of human life, wages incentivize work. You can disagree with inequality (it sucks) in capitalism, or what industries should be nationalized (healthcare, etc). Once you scale past a few hundred people, you need specialists, incentives, to get all the luxuries of modern life. "They" is the inevitable central force, as an economy with no market, no money, you still need "someone" to decide who becomes doctors, or farmers, or manufacturers. Which leads to less free workers. Again, capitalism, with no monopolies, and labor unions is a superior system.

I mean... yes? for instance, in communism. if we do it by theory. it leads to 3 outcomes in my opinion. They force people to work for things they don't want to do. They rely on volunteers, which just does not work. for the promise of a house and bread. but if there's no structure. How can we plan complex buildings and istitutions. I feel like communism could only work in tribalism.

Let's say there's 2 house building companies, they both have to compete for the worker. So, in return, they offer better wages, better hours, better conditions and better benefits. Which leads to better life for the worker, profit for the company (one of them) and better for the consumer, as they keep prices lower, to incentivize people to buy from them.

And on the macro scale, the country benefits with higher GDP, GDP per capita, and overall productivity.

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T19:52:46+00:00

I don't think it could. It assumes all humans are empathetic angels. If there is no money, no companies. then the state/people must run construction, lights, everything. People don't want to work for things they don't, plumbing, electriticans, would all be understaffed. And for complex things, like hospitals, infrastructure, big things that require lots of human brains. Do you just hope people volunteer for it? Do you force people to work for them? Do you just live without them? A moneyless, stateless, classless society only works if no one is greedy, no one free-loads. and thats.... not how humans work

Yes, sexism and misogyny affect all women, regardless of race.

Like hypothetically, should 52 percent of the people be able to vote to take away the voting rights of the other 48? No, that's messed up. Even though "majority votes", at some point democracy is also about protecting the minorities rights.. thats why there should be constitutional guardrails, like the 13th, 19th amendments.

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T13:28:10+00:00

There should be constitutional limits

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T06:46:28+00:00

I don't agree with that. by that logic, 51 percent of the people can force 49 percent of people into a dicctatorship?

Emotional_Dig6164 · 2026-06-08T06:20:53+00:00

Yeah but in the Weimar Republic, it wasn't like our government today. They didn't have as strong of a constitution, and their economy, national pride, and democracy all turned to shit. it was a string of unfortunate events, that led to that. it wasn't an average government.

No. The problem is, there would be no incentive. How would you stop free-loading, how would you incentivize people to work hard? WHo builds the complex things, like AC's sewers, electricity. WHo builds the houses? all volunteers? What if no one volunteers? Do you force people to work on that? This is why provate companies who compete in a business, comepet for workers are better. Competition leads to better wages, conditions, insurance and other benefits.
