Would at least some of them not want to be paid for it
They don't have to give anything to the commune
Its all voluntary
For support of the commune
Well yeah but I’m just saying that a market system forming is inevitable
Markets are fine, capitalism is not
But honestly it really isn't inevitable
And Markets themselves can be regulated or even abolished depending on a commune vote
How could they be abolished
If they were abolished, people would stop providing goods
Not really, they would just provide to the commune or keep for themselves
Collectivized job sites also kind of form their own commune
But that would mean a crucial main source of a good for the commune is now gone
Why would they do that
Why would who do what?
Eliminate markets
And other people who are a part of the commune would pick it up
and eliminating markets is just meaning the gift economy
though it would probably follow from the abolition of currency
Why would they pick it up though
Cause they don't want to starve?
Field
They made the highest quality food and knew how to farm
Eventually the cycle will happen again
Another farmer will be the best
And they will get frustrated
And stop producing
Why do they get frustrated?
Because they will feel like they are working too hard and not getting a reward they deserve
Then they don't have to work that hard
If you are making most of the food or the highest quality food then you come to expect some mor respect in your society
Then society will give it, but no hierarchy will be created to give power to them
Why wouldn’t you want people to work harder this is counter-productive this kind of society discourages technology
Progress stops
Actually it expands the capacity for innovation by freeing people to fully explore their ideas risk free without fear of starvation for trying
But for farming if you don't want to work that hard then dont, tell the commune, a commune-mandated-syndicate will draft a new schedule, and the slack will be picked up elsewhere
But the point is, people want to work harder and do the best they possibly can
Some people do it better than others, and they want rewards they feel justify their skill
If they don’t get that, they will quit
Progress stops
