    You’ve tried?

    There’s this thing called democracy, where people can come together as a community to discuss issues and work out solutions - such as allocating work loads as need be, you see this in many large community projects across the world. That’s the same underlying principle my house uses, communication not authority.

        That is literally an authoritarian system.

        What do you think the role of ‘General Secretary’ was? Its tankie shit.

          Huh, wonder how they went from communism to authoritarianism. Well, surely that was a one time coincidence and not indicative of a systemic failure of communism as an ideology.

            They didn’t actually, they got trapped in the centralise everything under a state model of socialism.

            Also I’ve been arguing for anarchism, so you’re really just hitting and missing non-stop today.

                I doubt you even understand what it is, considering you thought the S.U. wasn’t authoritarian.

                So I’m not offended by the remarks of idiots.

                  No one does, because stupid ideas, in order to keep adherents, have to become protean. Every time someone points out an obvious flaw in your ideology, you’ll say “that’s not what it is” and shift it to something else.

                  I can tell you what it really is. You won’t like me telling you. It’s angst. It’s rebellion. That’s all. You’ll probably grow out of it.

      I’m genuinely curious, how could communism be applied to millions of people without any central authority to oversee the system? Say, the sewer need to be maintained, and the people assigned to the work by the community decided “nah, I don’t want to clean the sewer” and not show up to work, what would the community do? What if the people assigned to mining coals decided they don’t want to mine coal anymore because it’s a horrible job and no one volunteer to replace them? Will the community force them to work or face punishment? If so, who make the decision if not a central authority?
