Also maybe a communist can fill me in but is domestic production of all goods something actually required? Like lots of the less developed communist governments just imported their industrial equipment from the Soviets

Hear me out but Americans can't have American goods because they can't afford them.

Yes this is why we tend to externalize industrial production to less developed countries where labor is cheap. But under some theoretical communism that wouldn’t exactly be a concern would it?

As far as my understanding goes, and a large portion of tankies would disagree, there has never been communism. Communism is not just a style of governance, but a theoretical stage that is unavoidable that will develop out of the collapse of capitalism

It would be completely impossible to do it any other way. You cannot build a modern society that isn’t reliant on the global economy. Countries might not always agree on things, but we rely on each other far more than we’ll ever be comfortable admitting

Why should we produce things domestically if it can be done cheaper and more effectively elsewhere? It’s why we import things from China
