    You’re first paragraph just described basically capitalism though, just instead of money it’s work vouchers. The other issue is you’ve now just told that doctor he has to work even harder to get slightly more than the guy who flips burgers.

      It doesn’t. Capitalism is a specific mode of productuon with individual Capital Owners, if Workers share ownership it’s Socialist. Secondly, who says it would be slightly more? You? Why?

        Again, you assume a doctor will want to be paid the same for his hard work as someone who flips burgers. Or what about a heavy equipment operator or a brick layer? The reason communism never can work is because people do not want to do something without the appropriate returns for it. This isn’t some magical formula it’s human nature.

          I don’t assume that, you are, lmao. You can get higher returns for different labor, as labor has different value given by that which is required to replicate it (in other words, training increases value).

          I really think you should just read Marx at this point, it’s clear that you don’t understand what we are even talking about so this conversation is useless.

            You’re entire argument (and communism)hinges on people willing to work harder than others and receive the same benefits as someone who does not work as hard. It’s literally what you have stated just in this talks. Communism works on paper, and in a world where star trek replicators exists, but not in reality.

              It does not hinge on that. I don’t know why you think everyone would get the same outcome, lmao.

              Please read Marx, this is a dead-end if you don’t even understand the basics of basics of what we are talking about.

                That’s the whole point of communism is for everyone to be equal, and for everyone to own everything and not own anything at the same time. That’s the entire foundation.

                Our mutual value is for us the value of our mutual objects. Hence for us man himself is mutually of no value.

                Communism assumes all men are equal, and all labor is equal. All things belong to everyone and no one.

                This doesn’t work in reality, people want to get more than others if they work harder.

                It sounds like you need to go back and read marx.
