Hm, these “Foundation of Economic Education” folks don’t sound too bad…
The Foundation for Economic Education is listed as a partner organization of the Charles Koch Institute.[3]
Lol
To sum up the vid:
It’s not actually communism, it’s democratic participation in a cooperative, classless society with the goal of meeting each other’s needs and contributing to the greater whole!
:engels-wut:
It’s also not new! Early societies have done this and certain groups of people do it today!
:marx-hi:
I suppose the response to these kinds of bad faith arguments is “Cool, maybe it’s not communism. So why are we not choosing this over Capitalism then?”
(Admittedly, I haven’t watched the show so maybe he is right and Jackson is not really a Communist society, just not with the arguments he presented.)
well I worded it badly anyways. Yeah, the dudes in the last of us episode are fascist (or at least adjacent). I think were it gets confusing is the fireflies are left coded, and theyre the big revolutionary group. I thought the chuds from episode 5 were going to be firefly aligned at first, I havent played the game.
I’m cosigning with your line of thinking. In the HBO after-episode talks with the showrunners, Mazin says that revolutions usually result in a change in leaders who end up being more brutal/ineffective than the previous regime. It’s such an Animal Farm-esque meme that’s usually ascribed to leftist revolutionaries that also argues for the status quo/big-brain centrism
