    Default What would you miss most in a communist/socialist society ?

    everyone has their own wee likes that are deemed 'capitalist'. so in the event of a communist revolution what would you miss that would be eradicated in this society ?

    I have not had fast food since I was a youngster but aside from the atrocious worker's rights and ecological impact those places have why wouldn't you have similar fries?

    I can't imagine post revolution that everyone is required to indulge in vegan yam slop and deer turds.

    i'd suppose different food supply may be used, different cooking facilities/equipment ?

    he seems to be uninformed. i had a wee peak at his posts and it all seems to be that he is under the impression that because of the previous ultra authoritarian stance of previous regimes that there will be a total blackout in the wants and needs of the individual. but the individual can have as much freedom as they want except if they engage in behaviour or actions that are exploitive, oppressive or anti-social.

    No its worse than that. He thinks that if private property doesn't exist, then people are not individuals.

    I'd sure miss the millions of people that starve today, that don't have a home, that die for imperialist aims, that disappear in the media's lies, or that keep their lives struggling to eat.
