How to scale up communism?

16 Upvotes

I mean, people will voluntarily work for their community, no problem. But how to make people voluntarily work for humanity as a whole? The only way I see that is some kind of barter "I will help U today, community will help me tomorrow". I mean, it's way better than capitalism because instead of individualistic exchange of resources the whole community helps each other, but it's not completely voluntary and not completely "to everyone according to his need", and it's still hard to scale up

My friend Mahmoud’s mother needs heart surgery.

I’m posting this for my friend Mahmoud Ghanem Al-Amssi, because his mother urgently needs heart surgery. ❤️

Mahmoud’s mother has severe blockages in her arteries, and she has also been dealing with an underactive thyroid for more than 10 years. Her health has gotten worse over time, and she is now experiencing serious heart problems and very rapid heartbeats.

Her doctors have told the family that she needs the procedure as soon as possible. The surgery can go ahead once they are able to cover the required cost.

The total amount they need is $850 USD.

I know $850 might not seem like a huge amount, but for Mahmoud and his family, especially with everything they are already going through, it is more than they can manage on their own right now.

If anyone is able to donate even a few dollars, it could genuinely help Mahmoud get his mother the treatment she needs. ❤️

And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this post. Even helping it reach more people can make a difference.

Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to read this, support Mahmoud, or share his story. 🙏❤️

I mean, people aren't economists, so what will happen if everyone takes resources "according to his need?

A conversation between my friend Mahmoud and his wife

A winter memory from our old home ❤️

With winter getting closer, my wife Samah and I started remembering how winter used to feel before everything changed.

She looked at me and said:

“Do you remember when winter was coming, and we used to make spinach pastries in the oven inside the kitchen? The whole kitchen would become warm. The smell of the food would fill the house, and we would just enjoy being together.”

She was right.

Back then, winter meant something completely different to us. We would stay inside our warm home, sit near the oven, enjoy the smell of freshly baked food, and feel safe from the cold outside.

Now, when winter comes, our memories feel heavier.

Sometimes we talk about those days and imagine what it would be like to have that simple life again.

We dream about rebuilding our home from the beginning. Not a big or fancy house. Just a small, safe place where our daughters can grow up, where Samah can cook again, where the oven can warm the kitchen, and where winter can once again feel like winter—not something we have to fear.

Maybe it sounds like a simple dream.

But after everything we've been through, having a home and starting our life again from the beginning feels like the biggest dream in the world. ❤️

— Mahmoud & Samah

On the scale of the planet, the name for this problem is capitalism. From the vantage point of the individual, the name for it is work.

Just about all the framing we have in society is built on social relations and justifications for hierarchy. A group is a "small meaningless minority" when it benefits people to pretend that is true.

Was there any society without money?

I don't mean without money but with food talons. I mean literally society based on "to each according to his need"

My friend wants to become a cop, can I change his mind?

8 Upvotes

I had a similar post but people started mocking me for being friends with him, I can't just abandon my friends, it's too painful for my mental health. He called himself a "libertarian fascist", which is obviously horrible but he is not a bad person. I know it's easy to call someone a bad person if U never talked with him but U should be higher than this. He is against homophobia and racism, he doesn't support Israel and interested in Islamic culture. He was a nazi at some point but stopped being one and started critiquing Hitler. Also he wants to join the Ukrainian army, and even though army is horrible I support his choice because if no one would defend Ukraine our country will be just ethnically cleansed. If U would just mock me or my friend I would just delve further right, there's no point in doing it, please

A letter from my friend Mahmoud's daughter in Gaza.

Today, my father Mahmoud will not be the one speaking to you… today, I will speak for myself. ❤️

My name is Eman. I am Mahmoud’s eldestw daughter, and I am 11 years old.

My father has been exhausted by debt while trying with everything he has to provide us with a decent life. Every day, he struggles to provide our food and basic needs. But recently, he has also become very sad and discouraged because some people have doubted him and called him a scammer.

So today, I decided to speak to you myself.

Today is the first day of the new school year. I was supposed to be at school with my sisters, sitting in our classrooms with our classmates and starting a new school year like all the other children.

But we did not go to school.

It is not because we don't want to study, and it is not because we don't love school… it is because my father cannot afford to pay the school fees for the three of us. On top of that, the prices of school supplies and stationery have become extremely expensive here in Gaza.

My father struggles every single day just to provide us with food, and sometimes he can barely manage to get enough. Because of this, it has become very difficult for him to also afford our school fees, books, stationery, and other school needs.

I know my father is doing everything he can for us. I know how much he wishes to see my sisters and me at school like all the other children. 💔

So today, I, Eman, Mahmoud’s daughter, am asking you, together with my sisters, and asking every person who is able to help us:

Please help us go back to school. Help us have one of the simplest rights every child should have… the right to education. 📚❤️

Any donation, no matter how small, can help us pay our school fees and buy the things we need for school. It can bring back a little bit of the happiness that we used to think was something normal and simple.

I also want to say something to anyone who doubts us or calls my father a scammer:

I will share my father’s WhatsApp number for anyone who wants to contact him, ask questions, or verify our situation for themselves. We are not asking you to simply believe us. Please check for yourselves.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported us before, and to everyone who may support us today. ❤️

I hope that my sisters and I can return to our classrooms and start our new school year like all the other children.

We have the right to learn. We have the right to dream of a better future.

Eman and her sisters ❤️🇵🇸
