6·6 days agoPeople want cheap products in order to live affordable lives, companies owned by billionaires are the only ones capable of the scale required to achieve that so it’s not like people have a choice.
Because some regions have almost no important export, so if the town containing the steel mill thinks they deserve better infrastructure, hospitals, etc, than other towns but aren’t getting it, this can cause animosity to grow causing them to demand more services or decrease/stop exporting metal.
Seems like something that could feasibly happen when you have power imbalances that come with centralised production. We have to contemplate these issues even in a classless society.

Maybe energy is not a good representation of the point i’m trying to make.
Take steel production for instance, in my country there is 1 steel mill that supplies the whole country and partially surrounding countries. This gives the group controlling that factory power, these central power structures will exist even in anarchist societies and whenever i bring this up it just gets handwaved away like it will be fine mutual interest, everyone will be nice end of story.
But i think there will still be friction and collectives not getting along even in a classless society, especially right at the advent coming out of capitalism.
Sounds like a clustefuck, how do you organise internation production like that?
Why would it need consumers? It can function fine without unless you are describing a capitalist economy. No need to balance the load either one nuclear power plant can sustain the region where all the power plant workers live with electricity.
Doesn’t have to be one person, it can be the majority workers in a centralised production system deciding to stop exporting something to a certain region because they don’t like them for whatever reason.
Yes sure, but there will be centralised production and because of that implicitly a form of centralised power.
We need some baseload electricity production to support renewables doesn’t have to be nuclear, could be storing energy by filling a dammed lake or something along those lines.
Centralised production is the only option in some forms of production, is every town going to have it’s own steel mill or power plant?
If you build a classless organisation of production i think that will drastically reduce tension in society from a lack of class war and allow for development of community, however we shouldn’t be utopian and pretend like no friction between people will exist, it won’t all be all trust and care.
My point is you will end up in situations where one town or city might a nuclear reactor which powers the whole region. So then you end up with inbalances of power between locally controlled production.

People become billionaires because they own capital which extracts massive amounts of value from production processes by paying workers less than the value their labour produces.
