PRN6969..... best answer I can get from google is that PRN is medical shorthand for "as needed."

Again, not funny. You shouldn't have to be told it is funny and then look it up and find out it is medical shorthand.

Unless the joke is something else?

I just went with "pr0n 69 69" and cued the Beavis and Butthead laugh track in my head.

(guessing their argument)
That's what the word FULL is in their for. FULL communism would never be like reality.

It's still delusional.

If you remove all human nature, perhaps you can achieve a Utopian dream. However, what would our existence be like at that point? It'd be stagnant, and mother nature would want to get rid of us for something better.

I'm not so sure. Some people work hard, and others don't do shit. I think that will always be true, regardless of the system you work under. Capitalism rewards those who work, and forces those who don't to do so at least somewhat in order to survive. Even with the lack of rewards for work that would come with full Communism, those inclined towards work probably would still do so. They just wouldn't have those who wouldn't work getting in their way.

But whatever else it would be, full Communism would in no way be a fair society. She's delusional.

That's dumb, too, though. If there is no benefit to working more/harder then you should be home raising your babies when you've done your minimum output for that loaf of bread you are allowed to eat.

No, you can't do that.

You're putting ambition and drive into a scenario where they've been removed. With ambition and drive, full communism isn't a possible reality.

Full communism would mean the inevitable end of the human race.

I agree. But the people I know who love to work hard would very likely do so regardless of the rewards involved.

I don't get it either. If I could sit around watching YouTube and playing Kerbal Space Program all day instead of working, you bet your ass I would.

Believe me, I am by no means saying Communism is a good system. I'm just saying I think the hard workers would probably still be working hard, and the lazy shits would still be lazy shit.

The primary problem with Communism is that it has no good method for rewarding increases in resources or advancing knowledge. It would be a fine system to use in a situation where society has a vast abundance of all resources, no need for further technological advancement, and no chance of shortages or systemic failures. But in any situation even slightly short of that, Communism is and will always be an awful failure.

When we get to Star Trek being a reality, then Communism might work. Not before then.
