Haven't you heard about fully automated luxury communism? I am past trying to debate with people that fall for this, it seems a better idea to sell kiddies pipe dreams and make some cash off of them. (For some reason these people get a lot of attention in the UK media). https://luxurycommunism.com/about/ https://luxurycommunism.com/about/

What does any of this has to do with the Soviet system, aside from the name? It wasn't a post-scarcity society. And there's a long-running argument that any actual post-scarcity society would naturally evolve into communism, regardless of what they call it (see also: Star Trek).

  Star Trek, more like Wall-E

  I was replying to the previous comment about it being different this time.

    The book that they linked to appears to be about the post-scarcity variety of communism.

      Isn't that the theory of all variety communism. Pipe dreams....
