Unless you can create a society that is completely satisfied with fulfilling their basic needs and nothing more, you will have scarcity at some point

You would need essentially a religious like structure to either persuade or psychologically force people to buy into that

Look around you. Under what you just proposed, they decide what to produce. What you will see is a lot of people starving, because most undesirable activities that are essential to modern urban living will go unattended. By the way, you cannot have an anarchist structure trying to co-exist along side a central government structure. Eventually, the central government will overwhelm the anarchist, especially the first time something goes wrong

Good idea. Read about a hypothetical economic theory that is impossible to implement unless everyone become obedient to a small group of elitist while pretending the people are in control. I’m sure you’ll get it right this time

Communism works the same way, except the party leaders are the ones on top

It ends the same way. An authoritarian dictatorship of a small group that seizes total political power. It always ends this way, and no amount of people power will change that

Let’s hear what a bunch of leftists who think that you can have a functional democracy when everyone thinks exactly the way they do lecture everyone on why political extremisn is a good idea,then start crying when they realize that the only way they can achieve their political paradise is for them to act like the very nazis they claim to despise

That’s the problem with both religion and politics. If you think you’re right and everyone else is wrong, you can’t help but to I fringe on other people’s right to practice. That’s why anyone that thinks a leftist government can be a democracy with opposition political parties is at best wrong
