What I hate is how housing is considered a commodity, same with food and water

Those things are human rights

It is possible for communism and capitalism to coexist.

What if the government gave you food, water, house, etc.
And companies are still allowed to sell you other stuff

Well that's a social democracy, it's just capitalism with but with a larger lean on socialism

If you want to see communism and democracy working together then you're looking at a system of democratic socialism

Because even though you're basic rights could be guaranteed in a social democracy you still have the issue of a ruling class and a broken system of representative democracy instead of direct democracy

Direct democracy ain't that good

What's the issue with it?

Well

Normally it's a mess to organize

Then if you ever manage to organize such a thing

You end up with an asembly or whatever with people that have very different ideas on how to deal with the countrie's problems

And to top it off most of them can be inexperienced af

You have a good example of a society going maybe a bit too democratic

The weimar republic

There were no restrictions whatsoever in political parties

At first this sounds great right?

Well you end up realising there's more than 50 parties

To form a cabinet you must scramble through all of them to get a nish majority

And your goverment would fall apart whener one of those parties would withraw their support

Well you're assuming there would be some sort cabinet or national body, direct democracy operates on a small decentralized scale

There is no head or central leader

Alright, so like in comunities basically?

Anarchism?

You mean that?

Yeah pretty much, the Weimar Republic was still a representative democracy

Well

That's a bit tricky

At first an anarchist free territory might and just might be swallowed by another country

Considering there's nothing opposing it whatsoever and the region is isolated and doesn't trade anyways

Then there's the problem of organizing those communites to actually produce things efficiently for everyone to get their needs done

And when everyone gets a full say in that

Things get trickier

With hundreds of opinions on how to produce

Whenever to produce something at all

Or what to do with the produced things

It can work, yes

In fact there's a million worker cooperative here in spain, all of hem having a say

But they organize themselves into factions

And that slides into representatove democracy

Well direct democracy is really just rep democracy on a very small scale, you would see a ward of a hundred people or less electing a representative whom they can switch out at any time. Direct democracy would be more efficient since the lack of terms results in decisions being made faster than the bureaucracy found in modern rep democracies.
