This is exactly how I take it. We thought it was Capitalism vs Communism, but what we learned is you can have Centralized Communism(Cold War Russia) and Decentralized Capitalism(Cold War USA) but it is just as much possible to have Decentralized Communism(Any examples?) and Centralized Capitalism(Current USA).
As it turns out it's the Decentralized that's the important part. You need many people making decisions for productivity to flourish. Rich and powerful making few large decisions simply loses every time.
- lcc 6y ago> Decentralized Communism(Any examples?) Nordic countries? Canada/UK? Though they are socialist, not communist.
- Weebs 6y ago> Decentralized Communism There's not much to point to other than short lived revolutions and communes, or ongoing struggles, such as: * Aaragon/Catalonia in the Spanish Civil War * Ukrainian Free Territories in the Russian Civil War * The ongoing rebellion in the Chiapas, Mexico * Rojava * Paris Commune * Shinmin Prefecture in Korea And likely some others I am struggling to remember. All of these communities were/are attacked by competing states with enough force that it's hard to get a sense of what decentralized communism would look like outside of an active conflict scenario.
