I never said that I was.

Don't cast stones in glass houses, as the saying goes.

then you have communist views all but in name :)

meh

there are many different schools of communist thought on the left.

it doesn't matter what you call it, you can call it the great religion of the beaten dogs, for all I care. the name is not what counts, it's the idea behind it, that wrecked societies throughout time

Not all of them necessarily agree on what communism is, much less who is and who isn't.

OK... is it one idea, or many different ideas?

the generic idea what you've been talking about is, the forced redistribution of wealth

I've never said that I was in favor of the forced redistribution of wealth.

If anything I'm much more radical and crazy.

I want people to be able to live without needing wealth at all.

That is much more freeing than needing a state or dictatorship of the proletariat to redistribute anything.

aha, and who would be producing your at least minimal needs for survival then?

in what sense, exactly?

food, shelter, water?

People would do it themselves without the need of capital, money, or the state.

but why would they?

wait, you mean you as an individual, would do it for yourself?

Because people don't want to be naked, cold or dehydrated lol

People would do it collectively.

Parents would still care for their children, and entirely new social organization would sprout up.

Like I said, its radical.

Imagine it more like this: People leave the society that is failing, and they go to make another one. They care for each other not for profit, but because they don't want to suffer.

They would farm, build shelter, and have water.

Using the knowledge that they have already previously learned from the society that they left.

Or perhaps, people in massive drives, by the billions, simply lose faith in the crumbling institutions and bring forth better ones.

you realize that's like going back to the neanderthal level of society, do you?

How so?

There is no reason to suggest that just because people decide to quit their 9-5s by the billions that they would somehow forget how to build or create new inventions lol

because traits that are needed nowadays to provide for the amount of people that live on the face of the earth, require technology, and a sophisticated one at it. what you imagine is that every people would be able to learn these traits, and exercise them for their survival. while this might be true for clarifying water and hunting, it might not be true for chemical engineering and industrial farming (much less mechanical engineering), that the industrial revolution brought

also, you would impose value on people that have rare traits others don't to trade their traits for the value they don't want to. they will simply go to other 'communities', and sell their traits there for the value they see fit

The computer programmer would take the computer that he already bought in the previous system, and create new data structures to use that don't rely upon IP rights or having to program as the sole driver of their ability to sell their labor.

No one would be imposing anything on anyone lol

People that are frustrated with the way things are in this society would "leave". These "Leavers" would come from all aspects of life. Computer Programmer, engineers, farmers etc.

You can find many people from those groups which could come together and produce a new means of social relations.

The people that would make up these communities would be disgusted by the idea of needing to sell anyone's labor power for survival.

okay, so let me pose an example: I as a mechanical engineer, would have to provide your community, because your community says so. another community would not need me to provide that amount of work for them, to get more food/shelter/whatever. I go there, you will only get mechanical engineers on a lower level to provide for your community, ending up on a lower quality of engines and stability on the long run. and the you would say I guess, that's not fair

1) Its not simply because the community says so, it would be because he would want to.

If he didn't want to then he could go somewhere else where he would want a profit for selling his labor power.

oh, then let me pose a more radical example:
Scenario 1: vicious people come to your community and slaughter the men/rape the women. since you hate the idea of violence
Scenario 2: certain people of your community will say, they will fight for your community, for being treated better and having to work less for their survival
