Communists need to buy bread,

No, in fact there is a book that addresses specifically this.
Communists don't use money.
This is how we know https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-there-is-no-communism-in-russia.

The real enemy you should be fighting is Centralization,

No, the 'enemy' is the idea that these people get to kill those people because reasons.
As long as people accept that rule by force is acceptable we will always be ruled over as slave of those the most effective at hiding their violence.

Okay, you can dodge and weave, cope and seethe now.

No need, I'm right.
Our disagreement is largely semantic and academic.
Sound money goes a long ways towards alleviating the need to illustrate the differences between an-com and crapitalism, but the fact remains, communism shares so that none live in poverty and crapitalism will starve you outside overflowing warehouses.

Sort:  

"...communism shares..."

No, it doesn't. It may sometimes start out that way, but sooner or later someone takes the money, or starts an institution, and that inherently corrupts the process by it's agents seeking to aggrandize it's power, and that becomes a vector for corruption, and before you know it Bob's your uncle and you have overlords and crime bosses running things again. Now, I'm not saying non-communist government is any better, but I am saying that some magic word isn't salvation.

Salvation comes from freedom, and that comes from being independently able to produce wealth and exchange it as you please, without being a subsidiary of a corrupt institution or subjugated to overlords parasitizing your production. Decentralization, not politics, is freedom, and centralization, of Communism, and everything else, is slavery.

Man, I wish you would read those books I keep pushing, the education you have gotten from your owners purposely obfuscates the real meanings of the words.

What better way to hide the doorway out of enslavement than by so vilifying the terms needed to escape that one would never even think of adopting what was needed to escape the mental enslavement?

Here we are.
Read the books, please.
Attain the concepts.
Realize, not only that you are wrong, but that you have been misled to the wrong conclusions by people that gain their power by your ignorance.

We have to have workers, we don't have to have dollars.™
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-the-conquest-of-bread

On any given tuesday the workers can simply continue to produce the world's goods and refuse to play the crapitalusts' game of money majick.
The world will not only continue consumption, but will do it with leisure time that used to have to be spent in wage slavery to slake the crapitalusts' greed.

IF your boss isn't making, at least, double your wages in profits, he will soon be bankrupt.
It's just how crapitalust enslavement works.

Or, you can set me straight by debunking the math of chapter nine of this book.
