I don't see communism work w/o a dictatorship, but on the surface, it's not perse bound to fail. So far it's been communism with dictatorship.
I am a little fed-up with the left because ultimately it doesn't provide jobs. Eh what jwestland? Yes, cos ideals don't pay the bill. (though higher tax rates fair enough if I ever need to pay them I shall not complain)
Big world wide companies: Jobs. Some of the jobs are crap uber 0 hour contract exploitation jobs. Bad. Needs oversight/rules.
Other jobs are good, but you have to watch the companies don't underpay tax (hi, Apples) and yes the security isn't there anymore (soz your job is going to India now...but some companies are moving away from that too). But...jobs. And working with people all over the world.
Left jobs? Bar a few local co-ops in Belfast...nothing. Taxi and restaurant work, nothing in IT/finance... A co-op IT company would be super dreamy right now :)
I rather try properly constrained capitalism first over revolution. It can be done in Scandinavian countries, right?
