      Communism was a failure, end of story. Come up with something else.

        Just one example, Democratic Confederalism. There are endless possibilities, even within the scope of ‘communism’. To think free-market capitalism is the best that can be come up with is a severe underestimation of the powers of human ingenuity.

          Finally someone willing to think outside the box! Thanks for posting, this looks like a good read.

            That is one of my biggest gripes with political discourse of all varieties, lack of creativity. I admit don’t know enough about the ‘democratic confederalism’ to fully support it, but from what I’ve heard it is compelling, it just comes to mind when I think of the question of capitalism vs communism.

        Communism hasn’t ever even been implemented, except in small communes.
