@kaniini@mastodon.dereferenced.org So, I would call that socialism, and it doesn't look too far from my economic aims. Eliminate markets on staple goods and give those away as part of the tax base, and we're golden.
Communism, meanwhile, is just one way to make "the government." It's political, not economic. I know there's connotative baggage because of Marxism-Leninism, but I don't have a shorter word for "nested layers of locally-elected representatives." "Multi-layer mutualism," maybe, but it's not as catchy.
