Communism is the idea that no one has any person property so the government owns everything. It’s completely authoritarian

This isnt entirely true… It can be owned by either community and or state. So again if it was the ideal communism where the community owned everything and it all was perfect. It would be a utopia. In the case of the state/ government owning it it would probably be a fcking nightmare. Communism would only work if everyone was equally nice.

However that is very unlikely to happen due to greed. Heaven is technically a communist place.

Authoritarian structures, of any sort, are public enemy no 1 imo, because they’re actively evil by attacking marginalized people and exploiting everyone..but anarchistic? They always end up committing passive evil by ignoring the needs of others in self interest, like an undressed mask off capitalist system where it’s every man for himself. Can’t win I guess🤷‍♂️

Have you ever rented an apartment and owned a home? Drastically different levels of autonomy

1

Yes. Autonomy is intrinsically desirable. I’d rather live in a shithole house with incalculable debt and problems that can’t be fixed any time soon, that I can call MY OWN, than live at the whims of a landlord, or some other predatory owner

Alright, fine. In that case, whether or not something is OBJECTIVELY more desirable is a difficult question, but I’d still argue freedom and autonomy is more desirable. Your failures are your own, your mistakes, your choices, your problems are YOURS to fix, which is infinitely better. I can’t give you empirical evidence to support that autonomy is objectively better, because the ways in which we judge quality of life are intrinsically different depending on our preferences.

You asked bro, you opened up the conversation. The discussion of autonomy and the importance of owning property is important to the discussion of Communism. I am not personally for or against, I haven’t seen it applied in beneficial ways, but I believe that it ISNT impossible under the right conditions. Not a fan of Capitalism myself either.

Although I’m not a fan of Capitalism, I completely respect and appreciate your reasoning, that makes sense!

Is that before or after black people stopped picking cotton for them? Gimme a break! Equality isn’t just a virtue, it’s a right..the natural state of our species, unimpeded by societal constraint and degradation

You assume poorly and past judgement too quickly. Try again and read first. Stop virtue signaling bs

But I couldn’t be virtue signaling, because we just established that our rights go beyond simple virtues. Try again and read first. Stop straw manning bs
