If only there were some kind of way for it to not devolve into totalitarian dictatorship...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's really simple - centralization = seat of power

The worst flavor of people are drawn to that like moths to a flame. It's not even a good idea, any potential economies of scale are wasted by communication lag in the bureaucracy

Decentralization is key. You can have a commune easy enough, humans self organize just fine in small enough communities. There's communes all over the world doing just fine

The question is, how do you knit those small communities together in a way that doesn't give anyone much power, but still come together when needed?

Australia had communism for 60,000 years and never developed a dictatorship.

Would you like to provide a link, or any sort of proof to back up this outlandish claim?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Calling it communism may be a bit of a reach, but collectivist social organizing in a variety of ways was and still is a very common element of indigenous cultures around the world.

This link focuses on family and child rearing, but it's a good window into how Australian aboriginals express collectivist principles.

Rather than placing absolute power of The State in one person's hands, start with an elected council of members whose number is not divisible by 2. Transition to a Stateless co-op arrangement. Congratulations you just implemented Communism the way it is intended to be implemented, and no dictator could screw it up.
