Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Communism isn't the only alternative to capitalism. For example, a system where all enterprises are controlled by the people that work in them, the means of production is socially owned and land and natural resources are commonly owned would also be a postcapitalist system

What would you call such a system?

Is communism not a movement based on the aspiration to achieve economic democracy?

The system I described is not moneyless

Is there a reason that only a moneyless society may be described as communist?

Is the distinction relevant, given that any abolition of money would entail gradual evolution by many smaller and weakly related changes, between the present and such a time?
