Rural communities in a communist world.

[Psy]

So how should a communist world deal with rural communities? I don't mean rural as in farm country, I mean what happens to isolated rural unindustrilized fishing communities that are currently dying as their working age population leaves in droves for more indusrialized communities. Do we turn into tourist destinations, wouldn't that make these isolated rural communities human zoos where industrial workers gawk at of non-industrialized workers? Do we relocate them? What if they don't to be relocated?

When communism starts, the world will be highly industrialized, and due to equal opportunities, people will be able to change professions at will. So it is unlikely that the situation you are thinking of will exist then.

Capitalism has unequal development thus why many rural communities are contracting, capitalists can see no profit in modernizing these communities so it doesn't and they are actually de-industrializing as beourgise states pull funding out of public services of these remote communities (for example closing schools, clinics, police stations,ect) as there is no property in these communities worth defending from the point of the view of the capitalist class.

Communism will be preceded by a long period of socialism which will take care of all that.

This is yet another lucid example of how a planned economy can be superior to capitalism.

Many people in these communities you describe would be happy to live there if they could. As such, the future of such communities are extremely bright under communism. They move to the cities not out of choice but out of desperation. There are no jobs in these areas for school teachers, doctors and the like. But unlike urban or agricultural areas, such communities are in greatest need of technicians and other specialists. Unfortunately, it's rarely communities but capitalists. that employ these specialists.

For example, in medicine there is a glut of doctors in urban areas, but not in the regions you describe. There is no reason to believe that a planned economy can't rectify those shortages much more readily than capitalism can.
