Where has communism ever actually worked?

Republican spain?

Technically? Nowhere, as the moneyless, classless, stateless never came into being.

RIGHT

It’s utopian

Coloquially? Seychelles.

Hurdur

Probably.

republican spain what

what are you on about

Lol.

Good question.

Although it is probably true communism has never really been tried

tried is a vague term

Well, according to the Marxist definition, I don’t think even socialism was tried.
As it means the common ownership of the means of production.

it's all semantics

mostly because "communism failed" or "it doesn't work" isn't an actual argument

it's too vague to be worth entertaining a discussion

its just something you can say that superficially sounds right

rhetoric or whatever

So the real question is could it ever work

Which is no

Unless we get UBI and complete automation-

define work

Capitalism doesnt work either. Both communism and capitalism are just short term solutions

Capitalism has worked the best

No such thing as a perfect system buddy

maybe if we achieve post-scarcity it could work

scientifically impossible

But eventually you have the super rich controlling all the wealth and everyone else fighting for crumbs

It ends like the game of monopoly

you can't achieve post-scarcity in a materially finite universe

What if we become technologically advanced enough to synthesize water

And lab grown human meat that’s ethical to consume!

i mean sure

practical post-scarcity

what if we automate the entire labor force

having a metric fuckton of resources to go around

and let supercomputers take over

scarcity technically still exists it just wouldn't be an issue at the time
