Only privately owned companies - no PLCs. Only people can own companies, not other companies.

How does that sound, comrade?

I like the sound of that realism comrade. Problem is though, our fellow grandparent comrade seems to think differently from some of our 'ideals' if not is somewhat more utopian.

I'm not sure what part of the planet thinks that this list is even remotely realistic or sustainable, but I think that this comrade will find that their world view right there will be quickly dismantled by the harsh reality that it doesn't exist. Perhaps clownworld? Who knows.

Also, our anarcho-communist comrade grandparent may not like the sound of any company or commune that imposes a concept called a 'hierarchy'. It's ultimately against their own ideals.

Sheesh, I hope not. The only way I see that happening is if all the people are either dead, or functionally identical. Neither seems like a food future to me.

I wouldn't mind less of those though.

Well. It’s a very Roddenberry view to not have borders, currency, poverty.

Might be better than what we have but it won’t fix any inherent problems in society (or to put it differently. The inherent society problems must be solved before such an utopia can be created imho.)
