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.)

    To be fair, I think Joel was being cheeky and sarcastic with the "everyone loves contractors" line and Ellie just didn't pick up on it cause why would she, she's an apocal babie

    Also wouldn't make much sense for Joel to be a die-hard commie considering he's basically just a Texan construction contractor from 2003, honestly his agnostic "I was neither" response is pretty progressive considering his background
