      The funny combination would be to combine the single party authoritarian structure with a completly unregulated economy for maximum carnage :P

      As far as I underatand the quote, hes talking about needing a socialist system where the rights of individuals are respected and protected, but factories, housing etc is owned and and managed by the commons.

      Smaller groups of humans (villages, households, …?) could decide among themselves whether they prefer to live together by capitalist or communist principles. These smaller groups could function within a larger federation - a bit like the fediverse with its smaller instances where each can decide their own internal rules.

        yeah, thats probably a really unstable combination, as the internal logic of capitalism requires infinite growth, so the capitalist parts will be strongly incentivised to expand into and consume the communist parts.

        But maybe different kinds of socialist communities could federate like this?

        That’s roughly the idea of Anarchism, Democratic Confederalism, and how the Zapatistas govern themselves. But they’re all anti-capitalist.
