PREFACE
What is communism?
While throwing away all prejudices and past dogmas related to this word, broadly speaking, it can be said that it is a revolutionary project aiming for a world without currency and sovereign states.
If you hear that, most people might be surprised. Will we turn back to the primitive society? The answer to that is half yes, half no.
Certainly, the state of no money or state is a return to the origins of humanity. However, the communism that this article tries to present is not primitive communism without civilization, but civilized "modern/future communism".
At the same time, It's a project that aims to fundamentally correct the distortions of industrialization and informatization, which are the goals of capitalist civilization, and to transform it into something that is ecologically sustainable and that is universally beneficial to people's lives.
Still, you may ask," How can we live without money and a state? However, I would like to think about it realistically in line with everyday life.
If you're a person struggling to make ends meet in a world where everything you do requires a down payment, which is the simplest definition of capitalism, don't you think how good it would be if we could acquire goods and services without money?
Also, if you are a citizen who is tormented or fed up with politicians and bureaucrats in a tax-grabbing state, wouldn't it be great if the demonic palace called the sovereign state disappeared?
Of course there may be people who say that capitalism is fine because they work harder than others, earn a high income, and have a large amount of assets. That's all well and good, but what if you lose all your income and assets due to a major economic crisis or sudden unfortunate personal circumstances? At times like that, we rely on the state's welfare, so is the state still necessary? But what if the state also goes bankrupt and its financial resources run out?
If you think about it this way, can't you say that the capitalist economy is an "economy of anxiety" even for the wealthy?
Yes? But the dissolution of the Soviet Union (1991), the headquarters of communism, should have already proved the failure of communism. It seems that the world is still covered with a kind of resignation that there is not an optimal way other than a market economy and capitalism.
However, the global recession of 2008 and the subsequent unstable and unpredictable global economic situation that does not allow optimism for the future, the global environment getting worse with the globalization of capitalism clearly expose the limitations of capitalism.
With this awareness of the issue, I would appreciate it if you would first embark on a journey to explore the possibilities of redefined "modern communism" together with me without any preconceptions.
