Will we ever get real communism?
Marx predicted it would happen after we got real capitalism.
Communism doesn't work.

Thank fuck Marx was not right about a single thing.
We will when we convince over 50% of people to vote for communist parties.
It's going to take a while but we are up to 2-3% where I am from.
But I have hope that the whole "robots taking our jerbs" thing will bump that percentage up.

Eventually, it's inevitable due to material conditions

>Thank fuck Marx was not right about a single thing.
He predicted that capitalism would increase living standards universally and erase economic and political inequality, he predicted that Statists, big 'C' Capitalists, would not win against the general population. He was wrong.

This is really oversimplifying it but we would be a lot closer today if the moron Lenin didn't screw up the Soviet Union so badly.

>Class, State, and Property are all abolished and all the people of the earth live and labor together in a truly free and equal society.
Seriously this better be bait. All of communism is just bait. Even if the implementation of such a society was remotely imaginable, it wouldn't be desirable. You get to "labor together" for all eternity, that's not to be "free". That's eternal slavery and subjugation. And if all classes are abolished and equality is achieved, how fun is that? Everyone is the same, like bacteria. Fuck. I only responded because i am under the impression that there are people out there who take this picture seriously.
I predict it'll be a moreover subtle chance than one singular "communist uprising" event like every young millennial commie wants. So far, we're moving industries from the private sector (electricity, hydro, municipal waste collection for some examples) to state-run institutions. I can't say how long this will take, but it needs to be a gradual process for the entire thing to not completely collapse on itself.
I'll predict that universities will begin to be state run as opposed to being their own bourgeoisie institutions next, most likely followed by heavy industry and transportation.

Why do you assume communism is the endpoint?
I would argue communism is just a precursor for transcendental transhumanism
It'll all be seen as a lame joke as the robots and the virus wars destroy us all.

>he still believes the post-scarcity meme
Did marx actually have any evidence to back up his assertion that communism is coming?

Yes. He saw that productivity was increasing, maybe exponentially, and that this would mean the end of poverty. He assumed wrongly that big C Capitalists wouldn't have been able to sequester most of that productivity for themselves.

Maybe if we started importing arbitrarily large amounts of natural resources from Space to a small number of Humans, such that there is no substantial difference between the resources and what you'd need to be post Scarcity

Communism is like a Dyson Sphere.
The amount of energy you'd need to construct a dyson sphere would equal to or out strip the energy that one would be able to collect.
The amount of cooperation and peace necessary for communism to come about would make it redundant.

you 're literally contradicting yourself.
Whoever has the power to decide whether a person eats is a ruler. It's not like it's a physical procedure, to have to work for a business to get to eat. It's a process mediated by currency.
