The Exchange of Goods Under Communism
Curious commie: I have seen much talk about no system of currency in a Communist society. My question is, for those that support such a system, how does the exchange of labor and goods take place exactly? I must profess ignorance on this issue. Enlighten me!
'Jucheist'/Stalinist: theres currency, its just used to buy only what state allows you to buy like food, clothing, ect. but nothing that really isnt a necessity.
Marxist: Yeah, if this is your revolution 'comrade' rest assured I'd be agitating among the working class to overthrow you before the end of the first week. Swap the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie for the dictatorship of the state-capitalist party functionaries? Fuck that.

Along with poverty and low...

But hey, they should have thought about this before getting me Young Stalin for Christmas. WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN.
I’m up to the point where he’s at a seminary boarding-school and writing poetry and his drunk dad keeps popping up to pester him for money. Also he was starting to grow a beard. The trademark ‘stache took a while to form.
That is exactly what happens...

Not L’Internationale, the one Stalin had written. And I couldn’t do it. It was too much. To full of shit. When they got to that “partiya lenina” bit, I had to turn it off. The party of Lenin? Stalin killed the party of Lenin!

1) We don’t believe in Hell, so you can nix the threats. 2) Saying “God Bless” doesn’t make you compassionate, especially after #1. 3) We’ve read your bible. Amateur work with serious continuity problems. 4) Don’t tell atheists we’re immoral when we comprise 0.4% of U.S. prisons. 5) We think…
