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 thought that line was especially bizarre because he was supposed to be describing the world of 2003 which in the context of the show doesn’t seem to deviate much (George w bush is president)
Writers for things like this are rarely half as dedicated to maintaining integrity of the world and its history as your average D&D GM. To some degree it's inevitable for it to resonate with audiences of the now. Also easier for the writers and in this case certainly lets them press home that "end of history", capitalism is awful but communism is worse and there are only these two false extreme choices for us which isn't even a new idea necessarily, it's many decades old anti-communist propaganda.
