Who said Communist society was the natural society of the future
Answers
Answer:
The basis is simple: economies as we know it - slavery, feudalism, capitalism, socialism - are born out of scarcity. They try to allocate scarce resources to people, one way or another.
Now, as you may have noticed, most people are no longer peasants tilling dirt, because we have really mechanized this kind of work.
And neither are they workers laboring at factories, because we have mechanized that too.
Most visions of the future predict that in the future, we’ll have even more automation. To the point we would be able to give everybody everything they want. Well, it only applies to material goods - we can’t give everybody Australia, because there is only one Australia, and we can’t just give out True Love.
But still, we will no longer have to economize. Thus making traditional economies obsolete. The technical term for this is “post-scarcity”.
Communism is one vision of post-scarcity future. Factories and fields are now free to use by all the people, everybody gets every material good they need, money is abandoned, social classes disappear, government shrinks as it no longer has to protect property and distribute property, possibly withering away entirely.
Critics often say that it will destroy people’s motivation to work hard. What they fail to see is, this is the whole point: a society where you no longer have to work hard, a worker can get well-deserved rest and enough time to work on hobby projects, find love or whatever else he wants.
Now, it’s perfectly possible to have a future that still has scarcity. You just have to invent a way to somehow spend the massive productivity the future will have.
People of the future might feel the need to buy a new iPhone every day. This sounds dubious, because you can’t really invent a new iPhone every day, and still have it be measurably superior to the old one.
But it does create scarcity, because you can’t just make several billion new iPhones every day.
People of the future might fight a war, a massive war that demands huge fleets of starships and armies of clones built with much of humanity’s productivity. A long-term war effort like that will probably result in command economics, where monetary motivation will be replaced with not-eaten-by-bug-eyed-aliens motivation.
People of the future might colonize the galaxy at breakneck speed, spending resources on new bases and cloning new people faster than new stuff is made for them.
Honestly, it sounds impossible with modern Western culture, even if FTL is possible. It’s more likely that people on the homeworld and long-time colonies will enjoy post-scarcity, and early colonization will be left to romantics who wanted that.
The future might be devastated by some sort of catastrophe, destroying most of the machinery we have now. Still, future people will eventually rebuild.
