Because I want to hope that we can actually change human behavior enough to work together as communities without the need for overwhelming violence first.
I think tankies have an easier path, because forcing communism by, well, force, from the top, is a much clearer and simpler path than creating communism by building and nurturing small communities across the world but I think that if we could build communism from the bottom up rather than the top down it’s likely to be easier to majntain.
Ultimately though if the tankies start throwing billionaires into gulags I’m happy to help. The end result is what matters and we should be putting our efforts into the actions that are going to bring about the change we want regardless of if it’s “the path” we believe in. Sectarianism is dumb we’re all on the same side
Since I approach most social issues by thinking about hierarchies, I find necessarily violent transition states to be super contradictory to the eventual goals of a money less classless society. I think once its implemented it could work with a bit of luck for who is in temporary power, but its more that I don’t think its possible to even implement it. Idk how to word this but I feel that trying to do a communism through another hierarchy is still working within the current system, and the current system has a terrifying monopoly on the systems of power and control (in the same way that :vote: isnt feasible). Because of this I think the only thing that can happen is a shared political awakening among the population that in times of material crisis will result in leaderless groups forming to protect and care after each other that will ideally (on the other side of a collapsed country) result in a leaderless unjust-hierarchyless decentralized group of people.
