No. Everyone contributes what they can, everyone gets what they need. A system where we don't defer the logistics of society to those who exploit it for profit. Instead a world where we as a society work together to lift all of us up.
Industry is simply a force multiplier, it's capitalism that's the disease.
"Along with the economy we want to destroy work and mass industrial production."
Food is currently produced in mass industrial amounts, which is what has caused the global rate of famine to drop significantly in the last hundred years. Capitalism as it exists today prevents us from equitably distributing the masses of food we produce, such that the rates of famine remain non-zero, a truly damning indictment of capitalism, but without industrial farming, famine would be more common than it is today.
That's nice, but as soon as there isn't enough to go around and it becomes a question of who's going hungry, all of a sudden you start to see how generous and idealistic people really are.
Its a great idea you're talking about but I just can't see how it can co-exist with the essentially human greed and laziness we all have.
Take everything we have now. Remove all of the redundant labor we do purely for profit (pointless middlemen, designed obsolescence, needlessly deep hierarchies to maintain hegemony, throwing away goods if they won't generate enough profit). That's more than enough excess labor to build a substantial bulwark for future disaster and allow people the rest they actually need.
Like, it's so hard to convey how much effort we waste allowing the assholes who want to be on the top of the pile to design society. They just make shitty piles so they can stand on top of them. We can accomplish so much more than this.
I don't disagree with you but i think you're being overly simplistic.
Good luck getting any more than 3 people to agree to anything. This is far worse than the problem of pizza toppings.
Not everyone shares your naivete, so what do you do then? It'd work great if we were robots but we're just a bunch of messy degenerates...
