What does it mean for workers to collectively own means of production? Am I supposed to own only the laboratory I work at or everything everywhere? What if I decide to change a place of employment? Why doesn't owning it though the intermediary of the state and your representative in the communist party qualify?

    I'll be honest, all the shit about real socialism / not real socialism mostly just highlights to me that I don't really give a shit, but that I simply support whichever projects make life suck less for the poor and the working class more broadly.

      Same, same. As long as everybody gets everything they need and there's a basic level of equality and democratic control, I don't particularly care if having money or the state makes it not "real communism". I'm sure considering the position we're in right now we can worry about those things later.

      It's great that we can agree on this important issue of harm reduction. I hope that we can continue this collaboration in the future. :biden-leftist:
