> It’s unlikely that we ever move toward this, in my opinion, due to the other issues inherent to communism (unfair (from the perspective of most policy makers) distribution of resources, corruption, etc.). It's because communism has the same issue Luddites have. Unless everyone is onboard, it doesn't work. You can't stop people from trading between themselves for profit in a communist country without the threat of violence. This is what leads to all the other problems. I mean Marx literally says you need to cull off the non believers for communism to work.
