I always struggled yanking the legs over my shoes. Sometimes they'd get so stuck that I thought I might have to cut them off my foot. I could've taken my shoes off first, but that would've been more steps.

Hello, I have an idea for a "meme". Who should I email regarding this?

StellarExtract ,

This is an aspect I'm genuinely curious about (as someone who is relatively uneducated on this subject) because my answer would be that yes, there will definitely be people who want to regress.
There have always been individuals who are willing to sacrifice absolutely anything to obtain more material wealth or power. They're a minority, but their existence has to be assumed and accounted for. For all of capitalism's failings, one of its strengths is that it does give these people a path to follow that produces (some) benefit to society.
How does a fully-implemented communist society deal with these individuals without them subverting and corrupting the system?

StellarExtract ,

Thanks, I guess it's the "get whatever they want" part that doesn't make much sense to me. What if what I want is astronomical, and I want to get it by doing as little work as possible? Who says whether I can or can't have it?

StellarExtract ,

Interesting, thanks. I guess a major element in how feasible that would be is in the administrative structure a community would use in deciding who gets what materials. Obviously if it's a representative democracy, there's huge incentive for corruption of the representatives if they have absolute control of who gets what.
Wouldn't this be considered a state, though? I guess statelessness is another aspect that doesn't make much sense to me.

StellarExtract ,

So the specifics of how a community would allocate resources without there being a state is considered more of an open question, then?

StellarExtract ,

I see, thanks. That's something I'll have to look into further, because it seems to me that it's really a prerequisite for a functioning society.
I appreciate you going over all of that!

StellarExtract ,

Is this gonna be one of those weird cases where evaluation of the assignment happens before the ternary operator?

StellarExtract ,

I get them from here!
