Well, if using force makes communism into socialism, then it is impossible for communism to ever be practiced by collectivism. Every collective depends on force, as does all government by institution. Given my understanding of personal agency, I have never given communist screeds much shrift, as they invariably attempt to combine freedom and collectivism, which is impossibly contradictory.

If decentralization of means of production enabling economic independence of free individuals and the elimination of institutional power and force projection is communism, then I'm all for it. If it involves any form of collectivism, I reckon it fantasy, and spend my limited attention on things possessing some relation to actual reality.

I am generally unconcerned with the opinions of lemmings, as I amn't one, and find the opinions of those using such of more concern. Evolution happens, and catastrophe from time to time demonstrates the futility of dependence on overlords. Those incapable of independent thought are impossible of salvation, and those dependent on cattle that cannot be maintained in times of resource scarcity dangerous to producers because they will make every effort to take what is produced when their cattle no longer provide it. Thus the latter need to be understood in order to be secure when inevitable conflicts arise.

Good people do not desire to be overlords. Only sociopaths are so psychologically disabled. Free people do not desire to be chattel. Free, good people must consider how to be productive separately from institutions projecting force, and secure from their depredations in all circumstances. All my posts and comments that aren't examples of my own failure to meet my standards are the result of that consideration.
