Isn’t there a leap from “workers should own their workplace” to “the people should own the workforce”?
Like the difference from Steam’s business model, and full blown USSR communism?
People always love to equate socialism and communism as if one is the natural consequence of the other. They’re on opposite ends of the 2D political spectrum. Communism is right-wing social policy, left-wing economic policy.
Basically if the Republicans actually learnt how to run an economy.
Although it would be better than the current crop of idiots it wouldn’t be the most desirable outcome.
Well yeah that’s what I mean though the political spectrum is two-dimensional, but everyone tries to squish it down into a one-dimensional line, and it doesn’t work. It leaves a lot of bumps which don’t really make sense.
Also when I say right wing I’m talking about internationally speaking, US local politics is crazy and isn’t really a good starting point to talk about political movements in general.
Anarcho-Communism is a thing
Which may as well be a different thing because of how politically different it is. I’m also not sure if it’s ever actually been implemented as a political system, so we lack examples to provide people which probably doesn’t help with understanding.

Well, only if you’re an authoritarian communist. Anarcho-Communism is a thing (and very based).

No it’s not
And you made the counter arguement so succinctly as well.
Ain’t my responsibility
