I see this way too often here on Lemmy, so I want to post this. Starting a commune is legal in most countries. If you believe in communism, you can found a commune and show us all how great it is.

You lack money? Well, that is literally what stock markets and venture capitalists (capitalism) are created to solve. If you are ready for an IPO, you can sell shares to raise funds. If you are not, you can get Venture Capital in exchange for shares until you are ready for an IPO.

Getting rid of capitalism means you need to find a different way to obtain funding for new ventures. And if your system relies on government charity (some government board handing you money) or taking resources violently, than your system sucks.

Edit: I don’t mean that this is a replacement for full communist system. I mean this as a way to get some of the advantages while showing sceptics (like me) it can work and is better. A first step.

    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 faith. Yet you think taking more than your fair share is not an issue for such a system?

    You are either delusional or you are trolling.

    Taking more than your fair share (average) is by definition competing.

    Also, I specifically picked events that are not mainly driven by the leaders but by the populace.
