    Just on the risk point. To reduce the scope a bit

    People not having the assents to start large businesses is of course a thing. You need to be quite lucky to start a business to begin with, I wouldn’t dispute that and I hate the dumb thing the right does where they assume everyone can start a successful business

    However I would like to know, in your ideal system where would the starting capital come from? And how do we decide which businesses should have capital allocated to them? Your comment on “communism has no government” would make this seemingly quite difficult

      I am not advocating for communism though. I am explaining what communists believe to the best of my ability - which is somewhat limited because I am not a communist. There are also no “businesses” as such under communism, and also no money for starting capital. There is also no profit. You are asking the wrong questions to the wrong people here. Also “communism has not government” isn’t my comment, it’s a statement of fact you would know if you actually spoke to communists or made an attempt to understand their ideology.

        I asked for your ideal system. I was saying further that communism would have a hard time here. But please do explain for market socialism/whatever you prefer

        Sorry when I say business replace with whatever name you want for the organisation you’d replace it with. My point being, lets say I want a place that makes a new kind of product that I have an idea for. Now 10 other people have ideas for other products, not necessarily in the same sector If the market can’t decide, and government doesn’t exist. Then how do we decide what gets resources allocated? Do we do direct democracy?

        I’m more interested in your system than communism though of course, as communism seems impractical

        And please don’t tell me “maybe you should talk to them or try to understand”. I literally am, but communists seem far to quick to just say “capitalism bad” and call it a day, or somehow worse “I don’t know how it’ll work, we’ll work that out after the revolution”
