Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community

In a system where money is not a thing it would just be a creative passion project and run endlessly until it was no longer needed.

Great. Yes. Under some kind of egalitarian free-energy tech utopia such as you’re describing, websites like Nexus mods would be even better. Sadly there are no such systems already operating for us to move to, and we do not yet have the technology to try creating a new one.

So any other political systems that are more real-world?

  You don’t need full communism, just make sure companies are owned by the workers, suddenly they will have more money, free time, they will cut down the working hours, and that will help passion projects like these and many more.
  
  There’s no need for this aggresive exaggeration.

    “Companies owned by the workers” is communism. That’s literally what is meant by “shared ownership of the means of production”.
    
    The “means of production” is all the shit that companies own, such as the land, machines, buildings, raw materials, etc…

    Socialism is the means of production owned by the state or the workers.
    
    Communism is a subset of socialism, where you have a classless society. Different communist doctrines have a different view on how to achieve that.

    It’s literally not, but I don’t want to get into it.

    A collective can be a great way to run a company, for some cases. I lived with a girl who worked at a cafe that was run as a collective - it meant that people had a fair say in decisions that affected them. They could vote on their own wages, working conditions, and no one was barking out orders bossing them around. The owner was an old-school left-winger who was doing this out of pure idealism. He was still the one with the financial risk, he dealt with banks, ensured taxes were dealt with, and all the other tasks involved in running a business such as that.
