Lmao
There's lots of pre-existing communes out there already
Well yeah
They're doing what they do
Not everyone wants to or can live on a commune though
Can you simulate it in an MMO?
You probably could
Have all the clan members donate everything to the guild treasury and take whatever they feel is 'needed'
If it was a post scarcity scenario, then this would be much easier probably
Actually wait
How can there be post scarcity if everyone just consumes what they want for free?
If the surplus is maintained consistently
Supply and demand basically
But you could never get to a surplus that way
Unless someone is deciding that certain people should have less
Higher surplus to keep with a high demand
Where is the incentive to keep up with infinite demand?
In an ideal society, why need money? You already live comfortably. However, we're not at that stage yet
Because we want progression
Nothing is ever good enough
1950's forever
And we certainly don't want regression
But communism does and I'll tell you why
We'd already have progression. The proletariat is a mass historical force that is progressive
Quire frankly
It seeks to return to the conditions of the garden of Eden but with Adam and Eve achieving Godhood
And what's wrong with becoming Gods?
Granted
I have never seen communism like this at all
But my aims are to see humanity progress and expand
We have the incentive
And that incentive
There is this belief that God was once a man and Adam and Eve fell (into a lower state of consciousness)
Which is where you get class consciousness
That incentive is to expand beyond this planet
To explore, to propigate
lol and consume all the resources
In a highly inefficient way
What's wrong with that? The more planets, the more resources for the populace
We can't just go around trashing every planet
