RE: Why the end of the market economy is inevitable.
You agree to go along because your indoctrination tells you compliance is good.
I don't understand this, is this your experience in your work? What do you do? Who is holding you to comply? I know absolutely no one who works because of compliance. Everyone, that I know, work for access and excess, some even restrict themselves to buying from independents or very small business where you can meet and befriend the entire staff. And absolutely everyone can quit, start creating mass amount of their unique art and sell it on Etsy or whatever. Is that compliance as well?
I have no choice but to submit to exploitation by a boss, or exploit customers directly by being a boss, maybe employees, too.
Being forced to join in the exploitation or starve is not a freely made choice.
Sure, I get that but you can join a commune, there's plenty of them in every country.
Where i can be exploited communally?
Id prefer to keep working, but stop paying.
What do you mean where? I suggested a commune to not get exploited and work yet pay for nothing.
Pardon me if i am skeptical that a communist society can exist surrounded by a crapitalust one.
You got a link to one?
I've lived in several, the least capitalistic were the hippiest, somewhat naturally.
And I've seen videos on a few 100% self sufficient ones, I think there's one by Vice. Either way, I don't know where you're from so it's quite difficult to find you a relevant link. I do know that virtually every developed country has a rainbow gathering and that some people live from one gathering to the next, so that's one example, hippie af but valid.
BTW, can a communist country exist surrounded by capitalistic countries?
Im in mexico, no rainbow gatherings here for a while.
Im from oklahoma, they dont have them, either.
The problem of coexisting is that crapitalism isnt real tolerant of resistence.
They tend to attack anything that shows life can exist without them.
How do these communes get toilet paper, electricity, and internet?
Id guess they sell things.
I'm quite sure there are rainbow gathering in both Mexico, less so about Oklahoma. Say the word and I'll hook you up.
I don't see how an economical system can be intolerant, especially a system that's based on freedoms. But I guess that you mean that these communities, surrounded by a free, monetary based market, tend to dissolve back, I can understand why.
Can you give an example? I lived for some time in a self sufficient commune and no one ever mentioned any attack, quite to the contrary, people were quite proud about the simplicity in which they achieved harmony with the surrounding capitalistic chaos.
No internet, no electricity, water instead of toilet paper.
But the thing is that each commune finds its own way to acquire the required products and services, some barter, some produce themselves, some collect garbage, etc.
