Recently it seems communism is pretty much written off in this forum -- with good reason, as having to preface your defense with "well, it works in theory and they never tried it in reality". But do you think this alternative form of communism I'm about to describe catch on in countries where we seek to reverse chronic corruption?
Transparent Communism reduces or eliminates the corruption and despotism inherent in the worst examples of pseudo communist regimes and puts everything there is to know about each person's financial status and proprietary holdings. What you lose in privacy to your fellow citizen under such a system you would make up for in wealth of services and quality of living. These last two are especially important - because that is how the success or failure of party members or policy would be judged democratically by that criterion.
Could it work?
