But it's not like companies or business entities won't have folks in charge of them under communism... Someone has to run the whatevers...

Ideally, supervision over most non critical sectors would fall to randomly drafted, single term committees of the people, think jury duty except better compensated and obviously with bureaucratic resources available to enable these committees to fulfil their role adequately.

Now this isn't suited for everything, but in either system any true oversight is done by the people, not the state.

Half of America wants to vote for trump and you want to trust in random people? That seems like a wild leap of faith.

Around 30% tops but more importantly what do those trump supporters want? The exact same things you do, they just believe different causes for the problems we all see and thus have wildly different solutions.

Shit, you'd better tell that to my aunt who told me how my lifestyle hurts her.

[-] escapesamsara@lemmings.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Cool have you done the work to find out why she thinks that way or what she actually wants? No? Great talk little buddy.

Youngling, she's a hard Catholic. If you can't imagine why a lifestyle would offend a hard Catholic, well, that's on you.

[-] escapesamsara@lemmings.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Maybe it's on me, since the Catholic belief is that gay marriage is okay, and you shouldn't treat them differently or try to change them. We're at least three popes deep on that stance now.
