Hm, these "Foundation of Economic Education" folks don't sound too bad...

The Foundation for Economic Education is listed as a partner organization of the Charles Koch Institute.[3]

Lol

To sum up the vid:

It's not actually communism, it's democratic participation in a cooperative, classless society with the goal of meeting each other's needs and contributing to the greater whole!

:engels-wut:

It's also not new! Early societies have done this and certain groups of people do it today!

:marx-hi:

I suppose the response to these kinds of bad faith arguments is "Cool, maybe it's not communism. So why are we not choosing this over Capitalism then?"

(Admittedly, I haven't watched the show so maybe he is right and Jackson is not really a Communist society, just not with the arguments he presented.)

      A week or two ago I wasted three hours of my life arguing with some nut on twitter who maintained that capitalism was nothing except exchange. This means that even cells and atoms are capitalist and that capitalism is truly the nature of the universe. Any criticism of capitalism was met with “that’s not real capitalism.” Socialism in his mind is just monopoly or government regulation. I kept asking him which class controlled the government and how he could afford to spend his morning arguing with me, but he wouldn’t answer. An utterly cursed interaction, 0/10 would not recommend.
