The avantages of communism for public services

[gearmonkee]

Comrades,

The main advantage of communism, marxism ,socialism etc. in my eyes is the positive effect on public services such as fire fighting, police forces, medical care, education etc.
The modern government only means to hurt the people by reducing taxes, which are the best thing to ever happen to america. the right wing capitalists seem now to truly be money grubbing pigs more than ever before. even the democrats seem to be interested in themselves now more than ever as well. the only way to further progress is to become a real people based, equal government. this post seems more like a statement but what i am trying to get at is what do you think the money should go to the most in a communist country especialy the US.

You can't really speak of "money" with regard to communist societies...there's no such thing.

Nor is there any state that has a "budget" of allocating so much for this and so much for that.

Instead, people decide what they themselves want to work on...and then convince others to contribute (directly or indirectly) to the total labor required.

If people in Smalltown need a fire engine, they might well construct one themselves. People in Bigcity might build a factory in order that a whole fleet of fire engines might be constructed...and if they are really good fire engines, people in other towns might ask for them and eventually their factory might be huge and their fire engines in use all over the world.

Think of a small town volunteer fire department...that's how everything will be done in a communist society.
