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.)
I actually thought this part was a really funny follow up to the banter where ellie tells joel that he could just make shit up and she'd never know, because everyone hates dealing with contractors and what contractor wouldn't want to revise that part of american history?
but yeah also the show either knows that joel wouldn't know any theory or the show doesn't know any theory
Given that Bill becoming less selfish ends up with him having one of the happiest ending in that universe I think you are meant to disagree with Joel extremely cynical worldview.
