What about cities and town how will they be built? So it is not for profit but for people?


Look at this Calgary photo it is so car centric do to the profit.And so anti-walkable .





I should up communism does gives people choise if they want to walk or drive not like the system we have now that is car centric.

What will a future communist society be like?

Well no-one can say what every little detail will be like. We don't have a blueprint of the future.

A revolution is a transfer of power from one class to another and so a communist society would mean that power has been transferred from the bourgeoisie to the working class.
This would mean that all decisions will be taken democratically by you and me and the rest of the working class. At the moment under capitalism all the decisions are taken by the ruling class in the interests of profit.

Cities would be planned and designed democratically rather than the haphazard and anarchic way they develop under capitalism. Every individual would have an equal opportunity to say how they wanted their neighbourhood, town, planet, to be.

So the answer to your question is that YOU would decide along with rest of the working class.

so...Michael Alberts is wrong?!?!?!?

[fire_mat99]

Who is he?

[P.O.U.M]

One of the main theorists behind PARECON. Though I don't understand the connection to Alberts in the post.

Wikipedia:

"Participatory economics, often abbreviated parecon, is a proposed economic system that uses participatory decision making as an economic mechanism to guide the production, consumption and allocation of resources in a given society. Proposed as an alternative to contemporary capitalist market economies and also an alternative to centrally planned socialism or coordinatorism, it is described as "an anarchistic economic vision",[1] although it could be considered a form of socialism as under parecon, the means of production are owned by the workers. It emerged from the work of activist and political theorist Michael Albert and of radical economist Robin Hahnel, beginning in the 1980s and 1990s."

[Q-collective]

The structure of cities will depend on our priorities as a society, obviously. What those priorities will be is hard to tell.
For example a focus on public transport, local services (like post office, doctor, shopping mall, community center, etc) will make a different city structure then one centered around the car (as was very graphically shown in the first post). So yeah, we don't exactly have a blueprint.

What I personally would like though is a focus on more small communities, as larger cityblocs tend to alienate people.

Communism is a socioeconomic structure and political ideology that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership and control of the means of production and property in general.

I think that cities and towns will stand firm in a communist future. However, the look of what that exactly is is difficult to explain because no one knows what the future is like.
