There's lots of pre-existing communes out there already

2018-06-02 06:21:16 UTC  

Well yeah

2018-06-02 06:21:27 UTC  

They're doing what they do

2018-06-02 06:22:12 UTC  

Not everyone wants to or can live on a commune though

2018-06-02 06:23:11 UTC  

Can you simulate it in an MMO?

2018-06-02 06:23:20 UTC  

You probably could

2018-06-02 06:23:46 UTC  

Have all the clan members donate everything to the guild treasury and take whatever they feel is 'needed'

2018-06-02 06:25:05 UTC  

If it was a post scarcity scenario, then this would be much easier probably

2018-06-02 06:25:51 UTC  

Actually wait

2018-06-02 06:26:17 UTC  

How can there be post scarcity if everyone just consumes what they want for free?

2018-06-02 06:27:00 UTC  

If the surplus is maintained consistently

2018-06-02 06:27:21 UTC  

Supply and demand basically

2018-06-02 06:27:29 UTC  

But you could never get to a surplus that way

2018-06-02 06:27:59 UTC  

Unless someone is deciding that certain people should have less

2018-06-02 06:28:00 UTC  

Higher surplus to keep with a high demand

2018-06-02 06:28:47 UTC  

Where is the incentive to keep up with infinite demand?

2018-06-02 06:29:51 UTC  

In an ideal society, why need money? You already live comfortably. However, we're not at that stage yet

2018-06-02 06:30:14 UTC  

Because we want progression

2018-06-02 06:30:42 UTC  

Nothing is ever good enough

2018-06-02 06:31:35 UTC  

We can't just be stuck in a time warp like Cuba

2018-06-02 06:32:03 UTC  

1950's forever

2018-06-02 06:32:28 UTC  

And we certainly don't want regression

2018-06-02 06:32:54 UTC  

But communism does and I'll tell you why

2018-06-02 06:33:11 UTC  

We'd already have progression. The proletariat is a mass historical force that is progressive

2018-06-02 06:33:32 UTC  

Quire frankly

2018-06-02 06:33:47 UTC  

It seeks to return to the conditions of the garden of Eden but with Adam and Eve achieving Godhood

2018-06-02 06:34:09 UTC  

And what's wrong with becoming Gods?

2018-06-02 06:34:18 UTC  

Granted

2018-06-02 06:34:32 UTC  

I have never seen communism like this at all

2018-06-02 06:34:54 UTC  

But my aims are to see humanity progress and expand

2018-06-02 06:35:05 UTC  

We have the incentive

2018-06-02 06:35:10 UTC  

And that incentive

2018-06-02 06:35:14 UTC  

There is this belief that God was once a man and Adam and Eve fell (into a lower state of consciousness)

2018-06-02 06:35:25 UTC  

Which is where you get class consciousness

2018-06-02 06:35:51 UTC  

That incentive is to expand beyond this planet

2018-06-02 06:36:06 UTC  

To explore, to propigate

2018-06-02 06:36:13 UTC  

lol and consume all the resources

2018-06-02 06:36:21 UTC  

In a highly inefficient way

2018-06-02 06:36:42 UTC  

What's wrong with that? The more planets, the more resources for the populace

2018-06-02 06:36:57 UTC  

We can't just go around trashing every planet

2018-06-02 06:37:09 UTC  

Who says we'd be trashing them?
