But it's not like companies or business entities won't have folks in charge of them under communism... Someone has to run the whatevers...

Ideally, supervision over most non critical sectors would fall to randomly drafted, single term committees of the people, think jury duty except better compensated and obviously with bureaucratic resources available to enable these committees to fulfil their role adequately.

Now this isn't suited for everything, but in either system any true oversight is done by the people, not the state.

Half of America wants to vote for trump and you want to trust in random people? That seems like a wild leap of faith.

It's more like 30% and that's with Americans being some of the most wildly mis-educated people out there. I'm sick of seeing sortition shit, but sicker still of misanthropy.

Okay, would you rather the Germans who voted AFD? Or the rise of the French National Party? Or Fidesz in Hungary? Or PPV in Denmark?

AfD polls lower than Trump, did any of those others poll higher?

Afd just won a third of the vote.

You would like control of some industry ti maybe just go the far right?
