Communism is not about an economy, but about freedom of science, education, and general peoples wellbeing
So stop fucking measuring it by Capitalist standards
Its like calling a Banana a lesser fruit because it has less seeds in it than a cocoa fruit.
But that's the cool thing about communism: doesn't matter how you measure it, it's always better.
Its actually kinda about both.
Improving people's well-being? So, like making sure they have good food and a place to live and medicine and clothes and transport and some entertainment and stuff? So, having a good economy?
Economy is just “the state of a country or region in terms of the production and consumption of goods and services”
So no, it doesn’t have to be capitalist, it just has to facilitate the production and consumption of goods and services.
If a communist government distributes food among its citizens, that is facilitating the consumption of goods. That’s economy.
