True communism is better than capitalism, and should be pursued.

Neither 'true communism' nor 'true capitalism' should be pursued. Both are extremely underspecified visions offering little utility to legislatorrs concerned with the details of implementations, use labels which needlessly polarize the electorate, and would unnecessarily decrease social stability.

Free software is necessary

Device drivers and operating system kernels are generally considered prototypical examples of 'boring but necessary' software, and Linux has successfully delivered these for many years without profit.

True communism is better than capitalism, and should be pursued.

'True communism' does not imply a better industry, because 'true communism' does not exist as a well specified set of policy proposals from which different people can objectively and repeatedly derive the same implications. That is to say, we can not reliably draw any implications from it at all.

True communism is better than capitalism, and should be pursued.

No society has ever taken all of the steps necessary because no such list of steps exists. No one has ever written a well specified set of action proposals for reproducibly achieving communism for which there is broad objective consensus on as being or resulting in the 'true' path.

argüman is a cool platforme

argüman is cool because it is currently a completely non-commercial place for the mind, like Wikipedia. It will most likely substantially decrease in coolness if monetized via a third party content scheme.

Free software is necessary

Software freedom as defined by the FSF does not imply the lack of incentive or compensation. Red Hat is a publicly traded company which distributes and supports free software with $1.54 billion in revenue last year.

Taking a life in order to save a thousand lives is morally and ethically acceptable

it is not epistemologically possible to know that killing 1 person now will directly save 1000 in the future outside of a contrived hypothetical scenario where we are assumed to have perfect knowledge. If implemented as policy it could promote ignorance of unintended consequences and greater death.

Irrelevant Conclusion

True communism is better than capitalism, and should be pursued.

A society without money would be needlessly inefficient, because money is one of the most direct tools a society has for incentivizing the completion of socially necessary labor which would otherwise not be performed or prioritized in the absence of an incentive.

True communism is better than capitalism, and should be pursued.

Unsubstantiated claim of superiority over an unspecified number of alternatives without any specific comparison or reference to measurable properties.
