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.)

    Yeah, sure. American TV fully internalizes ACAB so long as the cop isn’t speaking English.

    Good observation. Makes me laugh when, in Stranger Things S4, there's a bit of an aside about how there's a term in Russian for "pig" (reference to Soviet cops and prison guards) whereas the cops of Hawkins PD are portrayed as well-intentioned if useless against the supernatural.
