    I didn't say that communism can't work. I'm just saying people try to fuck it up for their benefit, whatever it is.

    The same was true of capitalism when it was getting started in rural late medieval England, but here we are.

    Maybe people will get better over time and be less likely to do that. Really though I think it's just something we have to account for, by developing robust social systems that can't easily be abused, not without being caught.

    Democracy in every home and workplace (also known as communism) should take care of this.

    “Maybe people will get better over time”—it’s certainly a choice people have. We can kill ourselves with capitalism or build a better world for everyone with communism.
