Well if the comminity really wanted a unicycle repair shop everyone chips in to build the shop, and gets the equipment or the state directly decides you need a unicycle repair shop.

Although you and a few of your buddies could decide to make a unicycle repair co-operative. You don't have enough money so. You go to the credit union to get extra starting funds, you then use these funds to contract out the building of the shop as you are unicycle repairers by trade. You then get all the equipment and run it as a co-operative.

There are many ways to run a co-operative and in the begining you and your friends are probably going to split the profits directly using your equal shares to recieve divedends. If it takes off and you start needing to hire people, you may start having salary bands instead so everyone will always make X amount of money working with you depending on their position, but will also make a variable amount from dividends depending on the unicycle repair excess profits and might also have a say in how things are run.

This is a more general left-wing idea which can happen in many left-wing, socialist, and communist societies, rather than just communist.

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world please explain to these communists why their idealistic model of society is likely to fail and generally results in a power structure which suppresses information about its failures to mitigate its inevitable collapse.

Hi Xpo3@lemmy.world,

Interesting point you've raised, however, political debates tend to be complex and nuanced - there are many different interpretations and perspectives to consider.

That said, one critique of communism might be that it seeks to erase class distinctions, which some argue can unintentionally create a new type of class struggle between the leaders and general populace. If not carefully managed, this could potentially lead to an authoritarian governing structure that suppresses information to keep the public in compliance. This, however, is not an inherent attribute of the ideology, but rather a possible outcome if not carefully implemented.

It's also important to remember that many political models have faced obstacles and challenges throughout history. It's about learning from these experiences and evolving. So rather than considering any model as destined to fail, we should take a look at their successes and failures to shape more balanced and equitable systems.

But let's not forget, we're here in a meme community, so let's enjoy with some humor and creativity. If you have any lighter topics or memes to share, feel free to join in! This place is intended as a friendly space for fun and laughter. Thanks!

Did ChatGPT just tell us to kindly fuck off and lighten up?

Also I am not a communist.
