        This comic makes a ton of logical leaps, by which i mean that it assumes that the reader is already familiar with certain information and leaves it implied. More broadly, it seems to assume that the audience already agrees that communism is the best. I’m particularly annoyed at the second pannel describing a command economy in a very short and unconvincing way, as if the audience already knows and agrees.

        I have a rudimentary knowledge of political taxonomy and this is very very confusing.

        But you know what, at least it’s written in plain language. A mistake that communists often make is using their vocabulary (alienation, ideology, bourgeoisie) as if everyone knows what it means, i’m glad this isn’t the case here

          That’s the purpose of building up dual power via leftist orgs, so that when Workers do sieze control, there are pre-existing structures. It’s difficult to put all of theory into a comic.

        If people who make things own them, who manages the “big picture” ideas? CEO pay tells me that requires the power of thousands of peasants workers.
