I'm not proposing absolute income equality in sé. What I see as communist is a system where large scale inequality can never happen, a system where cooperation and sharing is the base for society, not competition, and where the vast majority has real democratic powers (not the "put-your-ballot-in-a-box-every-five-years-and-let-us-f*-everything-up), a system where the economy and energy sector is democratically planned by everyone (and not like the old USSR by a large beaurocracy).

I might have been a socialist, but the social-democrats here (in Belgium) are nothing more than a bunch of left-wing capitalists. They never look for any real change in the system, the only thing they do is correct the margin a bit. The Greens aren't much (if at all) better.

 

 

So what you really want is an exagerated version of the Scandinavian/Nordic socialist model? You should live in Norway for a little while, you'd realize this system works pretty much perfectly just the way it is. There are of course poltical issues here, but as far as the socialst system goes, I'd say if a country could afford this (the Norwegian/Scandinavian) system, it is the best way to do it.

I know the Scandinavian countries are doing pretty good, even if they don't have the perfect system as I envisioned (I really mean going away from liberal democracy to something like democratic confederalism, but anyway). As I'm a fan of nature, that would also be a plus, and Norway isn't too far from Belgium.

Only problem is... my girlfriend canNOT stand the cold :(
