Please send me your computer and all your assets then, thief.
But I will play along, sure.
You already have a computer, so why should I?
Because you are a thief and we cant have any theives in our midsts. If you want to use a computer you will have access to the peoples republic computer systems shortly where you can wait in line with everybody else.
Maybe if you are lucky, you will be able to find your newly confiscated for the people computer system as it churns away helping the people.
Who and what is this "we" or "republic" there is no state in a collectivism. you fail at this game. (You couldn't even come up with a serious rebuttal? Give me a break)
What defines the collective then? How shall it be organized? If a member of the collective decides not to abide by these many rules of the collective (a "thief" for example), how shall those rules be enforced and appropriate punishment determined? If a decision needs to be made by the collective (and of course, decisions need to be made every day), will each and every member of the collective be given a vote on each and every decision, and will we wait for the unanimous agreement of hundreds of millions of people, or will they elect representatives on their behalf? If representative, then how is that system of representation not a state? How is the system of distribution to be determined and controlled? Who will decide what the collective needs and what will be the most efficient way to meet those needs? And how will they decide it? What about management and administration? Say a person doesn't want to work their fair share, who will determine what their fair share is and what their punishment will be for not contributing it? On the flip side, what about someone whose needs outweighs their abilities, how will such a determination be appropriately reached, and how will the collective ensure that those needs are met?
Wow... you call me a dumbass and an ideologue... :roll: your ideology is so far removed from logic and reality, it's hard not to point and laugh despite how sorry I feel for you and your delusions.
Here's a clue for you... communism didn't work. It was attempted and it failed miserably. And not for the reasons you posted above, but for its inability to answer the questions I posted here (and that's just the tip of the iceberg). Because of its failure to organize coherently, communism always devolves into a ruthless cult-of-personality totalitarian state, the result of which is inevitability a disaster on every conceivable human and environmental level.
I know that (among your many delusions) you've deluded yourself into believe that I (and many others) oppose communism on selfish or ideological reasons. In my case, that is simply not so. I oppose communism because it is as far removed from the common good as any socio-political system possibly could be.
