A new socialism/communism - Lemmy.World
If this concept were rewritten, from the ground up, without any thought toward
prior versions of it: I think it would start with: How much land, exactly, at a
minimum, does every single person need, to sustain themselves? This amount of
land should be given to every single human born, for free. The amount of land is
actually small: it’s only the amount of land needed for a sustenance garden. Or,
a sustenance garden, a few animals, a bed, a toilet. This is a very small amount
of land. It’s certainly not even an acre or a half acre. In the middle ages, a
sustenance garden was about ten feet by fifteen feet, and usually was filled
with giant turnips because these were the most efficient use of a sustenance
garden. Anyway, the basic kit provided to each newborn human by their worldwide
fellows should be: just enough land to sustain themself as a native, and, just
enough farming education and seeds and baby animals and basic supplies for a
bed, a small shelter (single enclosed small room simple shelter), simple basic
toilet/plumbing/running water and/or outhouse system. A basic minimum size of
land for each person. Maybe a quarter acre each?
That is the opposite of communism, because you are thinking on the basis that everyone should be able to live alone, by itself, on its own property. You’re describing some kind of libertarian nightmare here.
no im not, because these basic plots of land were given to each person by everyone else; making it a novel sort of communism
You’re still talking about one of the most individualistic society one can imagine. And if someone is given property of land, it cannot be communism. Or socialism for that matter.
It’s in the name you know? Communism or socialism are about doing things together. That’s the polar opposite of you being alone on your private, self sustainable kingdom.
ok all youre convincing me of is i should come up with my own name for own ideas, but, how will i pass it then to the only people who would care about it, the people who are already into the most similar idea, only called “socialism/communism” so far? how bout “a new socialism/communism”? no? okay well if i call it agrarian utopianism youre gonna call me pol pot; im not fucking pol pot!!! hahahaha geez. that guy was a total tool and fool, and no subsequent idea of a system that includes thoughts about general sustenance should be “labelled away” uncritically. meanwhile, i think, and im the one doing the thinking here, that actually my system is more reminiscent otherwise of what was called socialism/communism, because this idea above isnt the whole of it, this is the just the start of it. Its not “only this” ^. i have lots of ideas for how everything else would go on top of this. this is just sort of the “first right” on my “world bill of rights”. if i started reading the bill of rights to you, would you cut me off after the first sentence and say, “thats not enough, and thats dumb!” ? haha
