Capitalism Stockholm Syndrome

Ugh, are all posts on this meme sub "Capitalism bad, Marx good. Uplemmies on the left"? We get it, capitalism is exploitative. Although, I am curious on how the communists on here envision a real communist government. Please share, I'm just curious.

I never said they were the be-all-end-all of distribution. This comic implies that banks somehow are responsible for providing money to people to buy housing. This is a way larger systemic issue. People should be paid enough to be able to purchase property.

The person you replied to is not "adding their own bullshit", it's a fair question. If you have separate communities, they will all start to go in their own direction. Some of them might adopt capitalist behaviors, some of them feudalist behavior, etc. So then you get the following issue: You need a governing body or some sort of equivalent to make sure that the separate communities adhere to the same philosophy (at least in broad lines). Then the question arises, how will this be made to work? Do you instate a governing body?

I really want to sleep more than 5-6 hours per night, but I also really do not want to rely on GABAergics/benzos for sleep. Besides, doctors in my country will rarely prescribe them anyway.

What a terrible comic. It very much gives a "I just found out about communism" vibe. Without banks, you wouldn't even have the choice to get a loan to purchase a house or get starting capital for a business. And about the interest part, do you expect them to be a non profit? How will the banks pay their workers? I agree that the rates are too high, but come on, it's a service that you choose to make use of.
