    Communism focusses too much power in too few positions,

    marxism would be a better term instead of communism as true communism requires no one having economic or political power over someone else

      Marxism, and certainly marxism-leninism (stalinism) are so diluted by the bears of hex and the grads of lemmy.

      But Marx’ evaluation of the might of the kapital is important, the thing is to find a way to do politics without money or the loudest shouters.

      It would, but communism on a decently large scale needs someone to allocate resources. And that jon comes with a lot of power. Which brings us back to marxism.

        I’m not sure why large scale decision making has to be deferred to a single person instead of a large group. Tbh that’s one of the main problems with current large companies. Why not conduct a fucking vote, not about who should make the decision, but about what decision is made.

        What scarcity? Capitalism is ripe with overproduction. It’s why the boom and bust cycle exists. Capitalism overproduces, demand goes down, production slows, and people become unemployed. This scarcity is man-made. We produce an abundance of food, but an abundance of food waste at the same time. Instead of sending this overproduction where it’s needed, Canadian farmers dump milk down the drain to keep prices artificially high and because feeding those in need isn’t profitable.
