The scarcity is not in the production outside of demand items (electricity, water, etc) but in distribution. Things like bad infrastructure, war, corruption are the true hinderance

Now, try building a house by negotiating with the people who mine and harvest the raw components, the people who transport the components to the processing facilities, the people who actually build the house, and those who harvest, build, and transport the items you need to turn the building into a home. Now do this with the actual workers

Unless you can create a society that is completely satisfied with fulfilling their basic needs and nothing more, you will have scarcity at some point

You would need essentially a religious like structure to either persuade or psychologically force people to buy into that

Look around you. Under what you just proposed, they decide what to produce. What you will see is a lot of people starving, because most undesirable activities that are essential to modern urban living will go unattended. By the way, you cannot have an anarchist structure trying to co-exist along side a central government structure. Eventually, the central government will overwhelm the anarchist, especially the first time something goes wrong

Good idea. Read about a hypothetical economic theory that is impossible to implement unless everyone become obedient to a small group of elitist while pretending the people are in control. I’m sure you’ll get it right this time

I thought the devil created Chihuahuas with that chance

If I’m a government official in near complete control of billions in resources, it doesn’t matter what I take home in salary, I’m essentially have the power of a billionaire, so long as I keep my bosses happy

Communism works the same way, except the party leaders are the ones on top

It ends the same way. An authoritarian dictatorship of a small group that seizes total political power. It always ends this way, and no amount of people power will change that

Let’s hear what a bunch of leftists who think that you can have a functional democracy when everyone thinks exactly the way they do lecture everyone on why political extremisn is a good idea,then start crying when they realize that the only way they can achieve their political paradise is for them to act like the very nazis they claim to despise

That’s the problem with both religion and politics. If you think you’re right and everyone else is wrong, you can’t help but to I fringe on other people’s right to practice. That’s why anyone that thinks a leftist government can be a democracy with opposition political parties is at best wrong

Actually, no you can’t. What you are doing is substituting your political beliefs for your religious ones, and that at its core is what separates a facist from any other political belief system

They’re just making sure your CAT-5 cable is properly connected

Clocks were invented before electricity. If an EMP took out all the electronics, a mechanical clock is still the best way to measure longitude at sea

Rumor has it Ryanair will challenge Comcast in the CAS

I assume Spirit Airlines was disqualified for abusing pretty much every drug Florida man has ever been accused of taking

Now do a capitalist that is a trained athlete, and a communist that isnt

So, you are trusting something moving at near the speed of sound on rails? The first time that derails at speed, ugly won’t even begin to describe the carnage

Except those native that were displaced almost certainly stole that land from groups of earlier natives
