I also come from said POV, as do many on Lemmy. Simply casting doubt in spite of overwhelming evidence of goods getting cheaper and cheaper is not sufficient.
No, they cannot. Communism is advanced, developed Socialism. In the long, long run, either they move on from Socialism to Communism, or they fall back to Capitalism.
Communism is achieved when the entire globe becomes Socialist, money has been phased out (which becomes a necessity to avoid falling back into Capitalism), all Capitalism has been eradicated, and the previous elements of Capitalist society have fallen by the wayside.
Systems do not stay static, everything is in motion, even if it takes a long time.
It also falls on the state in Capitalism.
You can shift resources around as necessary. With replacement, you can still maintain a system.
Generational shifts happen slowly and in full view. You can act accordingly, this is a process that lasts decades.
Only partially.
COVID happened in months, spread like wildfire and put a huge strain on healthcare systems worldwide. No amount of money thrown at the system would have increased capacity.
Sure, but it can be reacted to and dealt with easier in Socialism than Capitalism.
