      There’s an entire corpus of books and documents critiquing the current system and on how a society based on mutual aid would work. None of them “expect everything to be provided for free”.

          Considering you cant name a book, i doubt it. I’m currently reading The Value of Everything by Mariana Mazzucato and Yurugu by Marimba Ani. I cant recommend both of them enough. Its about culture as much as it is about economics.

          • I mean, no. I’m not going to go dig up the syllabus for my econ classes just to prove a point.

            You clearly don’t understand economics if you think paying for housing for 335,000,000 citizens is even remotely feasible without a major tax increases on everyone.

            Communism is a nice thought experiment, but it’ll never actually work because humans are awful.

              So you haven’t read a book on economics since you graduated, got it.
