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 one of the nicer things about The Good Place (and also Andor) was how they broke the surface and did actually hit some harder notes.
Yeah, it was still undergrad level discourse. But that's a few steps above the "philosophy / revolutionary history for sixth graders" shit I'd seen everywhere else. Really, anything that wasn't a three hour long Marvel Adventurers advertisement for the local military recruiter has been a refreshing change of pace.
