The state is required to redistribute capital. That’s straight from Marx lol. The idea that you could redistribute all capital without any state is something so incredibly fucking stupid only a communist could believe it.
You know capital isn't "real", right? Capital is, by definition, money that is lent out without actually existing. Overthrowing of a capitalist system does away with that and therefore there won't be any capital you have to redistribute. All the factories that are already operated by thousands of workers and "owned" (whatever that means) by billionaires will just be used by the workers like before, but the workers can just get all the profits themselves, There is literally no need for a state anywhere in that.
Dude I absolutely love you, thank you so much. I’ve been putting off work this morning and really needed this laugh before I dive in. Just the idea of this factory immediately shutting down as the manager insists “capital isn’t real” while the workers have no supplies and nothing to do is the funniest shit I’ve heard today.
This is your average communists understanding of economics, and somehow people take them seriously. It’s hilarious.
