Do you think under communism, it may be possible to do trade with other countries based on need?

i didn't say it was tho

Let me revise my question: How would trade be done under communism?

It wouldn't.

So all resources are freely shared across the world, right? I'm assuming that there is no scarcity at this point.

No. The peoples representative resources allegation committee and me as their general secretary would decide that.

Well, for one, "trade" implies multiple nations. There will be no nations or countries of any sort under communism.

Second, yes, scarcity will have to be eliminated for the development of communism. I'd argue that scarcity has already been eliminated now for most essential goods, with most of the want our world is under created by the gross inequality created by the capitalism.

As a state socialist, I don't see a problem with it. People are always going to want a certain amount of stuff from abroad and it would allow us to either get products we can't create ourselves or to build up foreign currency reserves, both are attractive. You would simply convert what it costs the government to import goods into the cost in labour vouchers for the consumer.

put back your Nazbol flag you isolationist faggot

Communists countries always developed an export market as part of their 5-year plans. The few communist countries that exist still do this.

If you want to talk about Marxism-Leninism, talk about Marxism-Leninism, but don't muddy the discourse by constantly confusing it with communism.

Choose one. Communism implies a global economic system, not distinct nations that compete with each other.

Lenin and Stalin did what they could to save communism when it began to collapse. What have you done for the revolution besides "not a real commuism?"

If you like Lenin and Stalin so much, you'll respect the fact that they never claimed to have achieved communism.

whatever you say

wew

you're missing the point

But they probably will.

And, regardless, there's no point in borders under communism.

Autarky ftw

All I'm saying is that cultural, community, and language barriers will always exist, people who have lived in regions for centuries, or even millennia don't just turn off those concepts, even over generations. That aside, other borders exist as well, like climate, you can't grow oranges or olives in canada, or fish in the desert.

languages and regional cultures are more likely to die under capitalism with the globalism and americanization it brings

check your flag again

You'll likely see more people moving about with free movement and fewer economic constraints that keep one rooted to one area.

But they'll probably weaken over time as people are more free to move about.

also some shit doesn't greenhouse very well, at least not yet, mushrooms are a good example, talk to me again in a hundred years. I'm a futurist but that doesn't mean I'm not realistic or pragmatic, I'm talking about doing things today in this generation.

of course it will, but that will take a long time, and even then, cultural concepts continue far beyond the time they were conceived, not everything is a spook with a set purpose, the clothes you wear, the food you eat, everything has a cultural origin that originally may have had a practical purpose.

Jew Trotsky wanted to trade with the rest of the world, but based goy Stalin stopped him.

"Underneath the hypocritical moral outrage about Stalinist ‘repression’, etc.,[29] a number of salient factors emerge regarding Stalin’s repudiation of Marxist-Leninist dogma:

The ‘fatherland’ or what was called again especially during World War II, ‘Holy Mother Russia’, replaced international class war and world revolution.
Hierarchy in the military and elsewhere was re-established openly rather than under a hypocritical façade of soviet democracy and equality.
A new technocratic elite was established, analogous to the principles of German ‘National Bolshevism’.
The traditional family, the destruction of which is one of the primary aims of Marxism generally[30] and Trotskyism specifically,[31] was re-established.
Abortion, the liberalisation of which was heralded as a great achievement in woman’s emancipation in the early days of Bolshevik Russia, was reversed.
A Czarist type discipline was reintroduced to the schools; Leon Sedov condemned this as shackling the free spirit of youth, as if there were any such freedom under the Leninist regime.
‘Respect for elders’ was re-established, again anathema to the Marxists who seek the destruction of family life through the alienation of children from parents.[32]
What the Trotskyites and other Marxists object to was Stalin’s establishment the USSR as a powerful ‘nation-state’, and later as an imperial power, rather than as a citadel for world revolution."

not really considering it's thanks to capitalism and economic inequality their moving in the first place

People have more motivation to move than just economic purposes.

The modern bourgeoisie have no need to move anywhere, yet they live famously globe trotting lifestyles.

???

not enough people for any major demographic or cultural change
