Fun fact: you can be opposed to capitalism without being a communist.
You [tankies] maybe opposed to capitalism, but you're still in favor of the coercive control of individuals by a state-level entity. That's just another flavor of authoritarianism.
Feudalism might make a comeback lads
Feudalism will be different this time we swear.
You'll get to vote on a lord to rule the town, and they'll get to vote on the barons to rule over each barony, and each barony will basically be its own country anyway so they maintain the right to secede and stuff like that, and the barons will get to elect a monarch and a council to advise them who will rule the country.
So you see it's totally democratic and it definitely won't turn into a de facto autocracy that's not meaningfully different from regular feudalism this time
That's closer to anarchism then communism. Communism, as it's generally developed, has a central state authority.
Personally, I see the existence of a state and individual liberties as always under tension. You can't have a state without some infringement on individual expressions. But some restriction on individual expression is necessary for a functioning society. The question is what infringements and under what circumstances are acceptable.
Economics is political. Always has been.
