I’ve recently just been getting into communism, so I apologize if these are stupid questions they’ve just been on my mind:
- What is the incentive to create new things and ideas? Like, without things like patents and the promise of wealth wouldn’t your ideas/inventions just be taken by everyone without you getting credit where credit is due? Like I guess I should say why would anyone want to make anything new allowing us to progress if there’s no special incentive? Again I’m really sorry if this is a stupid question
- How can we promise that the weaker links of the population, such as the elderly, disabled, and the children, are accounted for and protected? And how can we promise that we will make accommodations so that disabled people can do their part in society?
- Might be adding on to number 2, but what do we do about the people that are perfectly able to contribute but simply refuse to work? Do we just let them starve? Exile them maybe?
- May be more of an anarchist leaning question, but how do we prevent someone from rising to power?
