When discussing nearly anything as it pertains to accomplishing communism a few things must be borne in mind:

  • There are now over 8 billion people on the planet. Mass death is unacceptable in a transition.

  • To prevent mass death, we cannot simply wind back the clock on a lot of things. Industrial society, for all of its very serious and genuine faults, cannot be immediately rolled back.

    • This is especially true as it pertains to agriculture transitioning to a communal agricultural program overnight would lead to mass death

The goal of the transition periodtherefore must be to balance these things: we must actually take steps to transition to communism while preventing mass death and maintaining approval of the masses
