Plenty of examples where money didn’t make it so, I mean Bloomberg tried to spend his way into being elected and didn’t work. Money is a necessary but not sufficient ingredient for a campaign.

Governments are really good at operating public goods and natural monopolies.
The idea that privatised public transport, water, electricity, health care, education, public housing, prisons etc are better than publicly run alternatives is as laughable as having private fire departments.
I believe Spotify here, from personal experience, the os suddenly decides to spike the keyboard clicking sounds to maximum volume out of the blue without playing any other audio at the time.
How else do you convince bureaucrats and purse string holders that you are vital and need a bigger budget for next year?
You didn’t read the link then.
In which case how does a community of that scale operate without a rule enforcement arm?
Will there be environmental laws? Traffic laws? Food safety? Defence? Adjudication of differences?
How does it work?
Will someone be issuing driving licenses based on competence? Who’s going to check if I don’t have one?
If I don’t have the sense to drive properly or secure a dangerous load, or I drive drunk or I keep running people over or running red lights who is going to stop me?
If I assault or murder someone is it vendetta rules? What if someone accuses me of that but I haven’t done it - who figures out what happened? Are there investigators? Who’s going to stop me? Or defend me?
Sure but why let the spoke person skate with such a ridiculous answer?
Let’s see how that goes in a market starved of high level workers and full of employers happy to let their staff work from home.
Wouldn’t the next question be “if he’s unable to process or notice that a single simple caption under the image exists, how could he be trusted to process information pertinent to running a nation?”
I’m not sure there will ever be a society that doesn’t require adjustment.
Anarchocommunism - I see. In my mind seems like a theoretical construct, a temporary situation that would quickly shift to something else either by internal or external forces, a construct similar to libertarianism.
And indeed historically this has been the case.
This “small communities” construct is also pretty unhealthy if you ever had any experience in small communities as I have.
Your neighbours are your oppressors and you theirs.
Societal norms of dress, sexual preference and everything else, are enforced by societal shame, isolation, expulsion and occasional beatings in extreme cases. The rumour mill would whip up neighbours into all kinds of idiocy. They know everything about you and you about them.
Anyone that has lived the village life that had any sense couldn’t get out of there fast enough and into the anonymity of a large city where the people didn’t police each other but if needed was the protection of an independent and dispassionate (from interpersonal animus) arbiter that mostly left them alone.
