communist industrialist collectivism

[Red Scare]

I am curious

[Red Scare]

please answer people

[Demogorgon]

Give us a context

[Red Scare]

well what I mean is, does industrialism always have to be considered a capitalist thing, are there groups that are industrialist collectivists?

[Die Neue Zeit]

I guess somebody here was curious about how I describe myself.

Anyhow, that is mainly in the context of economic life in general. My primary example: I'm all for 90% of the world's food supply needs being met by publicly-owned industrial farms (basically we're talking sovkhozy here), aquacultures, greenhouses, etc.

[All of the world's needs should be met by socialized production such as the above, anyhow.]

There's also a lot of talk here about how many services actually consume wealth, and not produce it.

Of course. In fact, when most people refer to communism they mean a classless society that is industrialized, as opposed to the hunter-gatherer society, or primitive communism.

Technological development is neutral by nature but its current economic applications and manifestations are usually not. Although industrialism is tied closely with capitalism as it brought about the creation of capitalism and the increased division of labor, it does not mean that communists are opposed to industrialization itself as it is only with industrialization that socialism can develop.
