Community property will be factories, farm tools, etc.
Each available for check out.

So, kinda like a public library?

Would you consider free medical care to be a good example of "community property"?

How would you "solve" the "free-rider" "problem" (how would you mitigate the potential harm of wasteful and or abusive and or greedy citizens)?

Sort:  

The free rider is not really a problem?
We carry him, and 4 social workers with 'free' healthcare, today.

If he could go into a store house and get what he needs, or the dentist, w/e, he is more likely to not be a shirker, if work is a short walk away.

Instead of attaching value to the labor you choose, we attach value to the person working, at all.

You would be shocked if you knew the true costs of 'profit', IMO.

Wasteful and abusive neighbors would soon get the cold shoulder.
If they persist, they could go cold.
That will be up to the consensus in your neighborhood.

Instead of attaching value to the labor you choose, we attach value to the person working, at all.

Are you familiar with the "employee owned" business model?

Yes, Catalan did it during the Spanish civil war.
Submedia.TV has a film on Greeks that did it more recently, too.

I've been in this space since 1985.
More so after '05.

I made it 35 seconds, is there any reason to go on?

Not pushing socialism, I am @antisocialists, after all.

You are showing the boundaries given to you by those authorities you've found comforting.

I can link you, but you would have to look for the video synopsis, absent the time to read the books.

The video is a short 6 minutes, and highlights the challenges of employee owned cooperatives (salient to the topic of community-property). NOTHING IN THE VIDEO ENDORSES SOCIALISM.

It also briefly mentions the Spanish employee-owned-conglomerate Mondragon, which I believe you were referencing with your "Spanish Civil War" reference.

Ooh,...faces I recognized.

Keep working, stop paying.
