Comment on Workers Create Value
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 months agoBy “every form,” you mean the ones in the 20th century which were not actually communist because there were power hierarchies and class levels.
Çatalhöyük was an actual communist community. There was no division of labor, no ruling class, apparently not even division by gender.
It was around for 900 years.

Communism was figured out thousands of years before currency, let alone capitalism. The problem isn’t communism, the problem is some people hunger for wealth and power and are allowed to accumulate both.

Exactly, but they claimed to be communist and the public wad told they were becoming a communist state when they were created. Kinda fits my “snake oil” theory pretty perfectly hmm…
Your response is a 12k+ old community, not even a state or country. That “may” have some similarities to modern communism, based on the pure conjecture of the archeologists.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea claims to be democratic and a republic. Are they? Because that’s your reasoning here- countries are what they claim to be.
Also, not pure conjecture. That’s an ignorant thing to say.
