tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7936 Posts	Posted 08/14/2025 8:38 pm I don't see any whiff of communism in what is described in the article. I see a capitalist system (individual producers) using barter as a means of exchange when they don't really need to. Not too hard to connect the dots.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Smells like a whiff to me, but I do not want this topic to become a discussion of what is or is not communism (or Marxism or socialism) or communism-adjacent. We are allowed to hold different opinions. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6483 Posts	Posted 08/15/2025 11:02 am The only reason that I even mentioned it is because the article mentioned it. The idea of a bartering economy that is enthusiastically embraced by locals is really quite interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: The idea of a bartering economy that is enthusiastically embraced by locals is really quite interesting. It gives me some hope for if or when it really does hit.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6483 Posts	Posted 08/15/2025 3:14 pm Jbuck, I don't believe that anything will ever hit, per se. Humanity's next challenge won't be apocalypse or war, it will be hyper-productivity and over-abundance. The producers of desired goods need fewer and fewer people to make their products via offshoring, automation, and technology. Consumers are already over-saturated with offerings. How will people get what they want when the world doesn't really need their labor anymore? I think micro-production and barter are one answer to that question. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187950 Posts	Posted 08/15/2025 3:20 pm I do not believe it will hit, either. I am not that pessimistic. I just take in every variable and I like seeing hope at the end of the less than ideal scenarios. Nothing is certain, so prepare for every outcome.
