From @PeopleofNZ – Emmy
Communism is nothing more than the recognition that society produces the things we all need to survive and there’s no reason at all that we should consider those things the private property of a class of people who use withholding these necessities to blackmail the rest of us.
Auckland alive as 20,000 empty investment properties while 40,000 don’t have homes. People go hungry while supermarkets lock the dumpsters full of unsold food.
Production of the things we need to survive is already done by workers – so workers should control their distribution and consumption. It’s that simple.
There is already enough of everything for everyone. Let’s let everyone have what they need.
No explanation of how it might work, except through the goodness of everyone and their willingness to share equally.
There’s nothing to stop Emmy (except perhaps for property and money) starting up a commune and putting their ideals into practice, proving them on a small scale before risking the whole country.
