Once rule by force comes off the table

except on a local scale, communism has to use force - too many people with different opinions...that's the whole point.

Localized communism is possible.
...but the very lack of communist model companies shows how they just don't work..
....Otherwise there would already be the dominant model.
Voluntary models that is - if they were any good - but they aren't..

communism has to use force

Nope.
It has to offer a better return on the people's time.

...to offer a better return means an objective calculation of value......the only way to ascertain objective value is price discovery mechanism...capitalism anyone?

(Artificial price fixing is nothing to do with value, only control)

True beliebers gonna belieb.

Try imagining a world of abundance where the things you value are harmony and time with your family.

This is what you get when you stop gouging your neighbor for every last dime of 'value'.

..the things of value to each person is subjective, and is not for anyone else to decide what is more valuable to someone else.

..live and let live, and not control, is always the answer..

freedom has a price...part of the price is 'not perfect'

Communism has a price..that price is death of that very human spirit you value.
Freedom gives you and like minded people to live communism if you so wish. Where are all these communist communes, if they were a successful social model?

Communism give no freedom to anything.

The first article...

Factories were also “confiscated and controlled by workmen’s committees, either term possessing for the owners’ almost equal significance,”

...So threat of violence/theft was required for any hope of this working?

Nice....

2nd example...

Later, the commune also established a Committee of Public Safety to use terror to protect the ideals of the revolution, which the anarchists later opposed.

...seeing the dynamics of how this goes , yet?

crapitlaism has zero to do with capitalism - you need to understand the difference.

Crapitalism is closer to political communism than anything else.

CAPITALISM cannot function correctly with an external authority of any kind.
It's a voluntary contract between to people.( No aggression principal )

should the mutual aid be voluntary or imposed? should people have the freedom to compete who can offer the best solutions? I want to be able to choose and support the service providers I value the most, as they meet my needs better than anyone else... why should I not have this freedom?
