A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It is not equally distributed in communism either. The ruling class always gets awarded more.

Maybe in a Marxist-Leninist state, but not in communism defined as a stateless classless society. There is no ruling class in such a society.

In China during the one-child policy, some people had multiple more than just one kid. You couldn't buy that with money iirc. Tbh I don't know much about China's form of communism though

Not certain, but I'm fairly sure you could pay for more children.

Right, there were permits for it, but with what money, back before it went capitalist? Anyway, it was one of the perks of the ruling class.
