I don’t think that modern communists should follow the “centralize first and hope the leaders give up the power then” approach.

It’s a bit cliche but the first paragraph of wikipedia says it better than I could:

Communism (from Latin communis ‘common, universal’)[1][2] is a sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered on common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products in society based on need.[3][4][5] A communist society entails the absence of private property and social classes,[1] and ultimately money[6] and the state.[7][8][9]

My description above is just a quick way to point to the things that would change in our lived reality (assuming you live in a western democracy). You wouldn’t have to share your house or car or whatever. Just take responsibility for your workplace with colleagues, just like you vote in a democracy.

All of it? Your definition of communism is the same as that of the failed dictatorships of the 20th century.

When most people nowadays talk about socialism or communism they talk about a democracy in the workplace and in politics. People who want a strong state that owns everything are a loud minority in leftist circles, as you can see on lemmy. But they’re not as big in real life.

Not really but go off

For this six-month period, Hinton says his Model Y odometer gained 13,228 miles (21,288 km). By comparison, averages of his three previous vehicles showed that with the same commute, he was only driving 6,086 miles (9,794 km) per 6 months.

That’s 2x. Seems too obvious to be happening on all teslas

by Tesla?? I’m shocked
