4 months agoCommunism without a dictatorship is yet to be seen at large scale. That would be interesting to compare.
It has actually been seen, and currently exists today. See the autonomous region of Rojava in Syria and the Zapatista territories in Mexico. Both were founded on anarchist principles.
Additionally, by definition, communism cannot exist under a dictatorship. That’s why all of the “communist” dictatorships actually say they are socialist, and claim to be working towards a communist future, which is obviously bullshit. All nations founded on Marxist-Leninist principles inevitably become one-party dictatorships because they don’t go all in on communism. You must immediately abolish the state for communism to ever work.
I got into MeshCore after Benn Jordan mentioned it in a recent video. Turns out there’s already a network spanning hundreds of kilometers in my area. I’m making a couple companion nodes so I can communicate with my partner, who lives an hour away, in the event of an emergency where there’s no power or internet. Also making some solar repeaters to improve coverage in my area.
