I remember my first description of communism from a teacher in 5th grade.
“The government can force you to work in any field they decide. If they need dentists, they might just force you go to dentists school for 4 years. If after that, they decide they need plumbers, they will send you to plumber school and you will be a plumber. You don’t get to choose. If you don’t like it, they will send you to Siberia, which is a bad place.”
“Communism is when the government does stuff.”

In theory, they could have done something like that, but outside of wartime conscription, why would you?
For basic practical reasons, a communist government is still broken into a million organisations, which operate and hire just like anywhere else.
In the future we will spend days pining for Siberia to escape the heat waves.
Yeah they don’t teach this in social studies and any school in America.
They actually teach what socialism is and what communism is. That’s where I learned it.
And why I know the difference between the two and what the definitions are both of these things.
In German schools, horseshoe theory is pretty much taught as a fact.
In light of German history, I guess that’s to be expected.
It’s not indisputable fact, even if a lot of people agree with it.
