Comment on If you want communism, you can start a commune
redempt@lemmy.world 6 months agonow you’re just putting words in my mouth. when did I ever say everyone has to give everything they have over “the average” away? it’s true we should strive for more equality, and I would be happy to pay a larger share to taxes for the public good rather than warfare, but you’re really not making good faith arguments anymore.
if your faith in humanity is determined entirely by the people in charge, then you’re going to have no faith at all. so you’ve missed my point. these are not carried out by “the average person”. democracy can lead to less cruelty. it is not perfect, but it also helps if the population is not heavily propagandized and is well educated.
I’m going to stop replying after this because I feel that you’re not addressing the points I’m making anymore.

You are literally saying we don’t need bosses to tell us what to do and don’t need competition. That we can cooperate in good fate. Yet you think taking more than your fair share is not an issue for such a system?
You seem to be delusional.
