Also: ZGM IS NOT ANYTHING LIKE COMMUNISM!!!!!!!
Can you hear me now?

Other than your short and overly general pointer to your seemingly closed-off part of your brain that equates ZGM with communism (displayed in your comment above), I would ask that you please give some specific reasons / comparisons showing exactly how ZGM resembles communism? Please; there may be something I have not considered.

It's a type of Communism, by the definition of Communism. Technically, if there will be a State, it's not exactly full Communism but transitional Communism, or if the State is there to stay, it's a type of Socialism that is actually not Communism. No further argument is necessary, you can check out the definitions yourself (preferably from a reputable source) and present your objections.

Marxism is about creating an economy based on science instead of political ideologies and social classes, which would remove inequality and create superabundance (i.e. end of scarcity) which will in turn remove the need for money and finally the State.

Now tell me where ZG differs, and which technological advance have changed this picture. If these people want to be taken seriously, they need to stop distancing themselves from communism and work with Marxist academics to solve problems of Marxism with the technology and science they obviously are so competent with.
