  I’d count those as the scattered households.

    The basic idea is the same. No state needed. People function to help each other, etc.

    Sorry, I’m a big David Graeber guy and he made a point to discuss this in some of his work.

    I don’t know if you’re in software, but IMO communism is like agile. It works well at small scale, but once a community loses autonomy and division of labor becomes a thing…it’s over.

    Socialism is an attempt at SAFE (scaled agile framework for enterprise). IMO it doesn’t really work, but I do like the idea of having markets where it makes sense, and having social programs that are not profit motivated…so basically Bernie’s position.
