I'd rather be ruled by a slow and exploitable UFAI (capitalism) than a cabal of shit-eating bureaucrats. Also, the Berlin Wall.

So you're not against communism per se, but a certain degenerated implementation of political-economy under commie rhetoric.
-
I'm against the thing that's happened in every communist state.
-
Well, me too but because it's not communism and not because it is communism.

i tend more pro than anti but i'm deeply skeptical of it because it sounds like having your life run by a homeowner's association

want to try to do something innovative that requires more than your subsistence resources? there's a committee for that!
-
Think of what AI plus communism means though. There's nearly enough computing power to track every resource on the planet.
-
oh, well, you didn't say Culture fully automated luxury communism with machine despotism on top! all in for that
-
It's not despotism, it's hivemind!
-

I'm against communism in its capacity to enable power structures.
-
How so?
-
it implies a certain modicum of power towards a central figure
-
I'm certainly a Marxist but I have certain doubts about leninists, maoists, etc

this is super-interesting actually. after 2m skim seems like there are places where I'd quibble on organizational theory, but
-
this (at a high level at least) seems way more realistic than past iterations weird to still call it communism tho (?)
-
it's workers owning means of production,so literally communism but yeah guess it's not even marxismleninism used pseudo for that
-
Maybe get a few tons of excess grain and let some bunch of thousands try it out just in case famines are that deterministic
-
yeah something like this might be inevitable w/ sufficient automation + democracy maybe? glad people are thinking about it
-
I take note that you're well-versed in microeconomics and also a pinko
