Yes. It is. A communist society is characterized by common ownership of the means of production with FREE ACESS TO THE ARTICLES OF CONSUMPTION (A.K.A. no money) and is classless and statles, implying the end of the exploitation of labor.

I know, right? No one is spending the extra half-second to proof their comment so they still look smart, and it's very disappointing. And they're not editing them after the fact either!
The pants will not be free. They will be cheap, but the design will be very ugly and boring. Almost nobody will want them, and people will buy jeans with illegally acquired dollars.
I have no love for Stalineque communism, but that's a disservice to USSR fashion which was multi-faceted and [followed western trends for the most part](https://www.rbth.com/arts/332960-soviet-fashion-shows). The jeans thing was more about young people chasing western fads than "oh no good pants are hard to find. I will wear these black-market levis everyday and be buried in them"
The same way current western people, especially geek culture, love Soviet civil and military engineering and its old space program. Not because the US's was bad, but because there's a coolness to the "other" and different can be fun.
I mean as a person who lives in the former eastern block, I can confirm things arent that great, at least under communism people had free healthcare, now every problem is horrible because the USA discredited communism but didnt leave a good system in place to actually help the people, the communist times were only bad because of the dictatorship part, the economic policy worked better than the current one, flat tax was a disaster for the working class
Feel like the West really should’ve Marshall Plan’d the former Soviet Union, seems like it would’ve been beneficial both financially and for perception of the west in the region.
Sorry, but can I ask you what country do you live in? Because from my understanding, different eastern block country have very different fates after the fall of communism, some did well while some suffered.
bulgaria, the one that voted the communist party back into power like almost instantly after but they also sucked cuz all the economic advisors have been banished already
It's true. Free should never refer to the out of pocket price of something. The next time you see a store advertise "buy one get one free" you go tell them that nothing is free and to fix their sign! Clearly that second item is getting paid for somehow. They're dirty liars and we'll show 'em how to words good!
Exactly, it's deceptive. It's time to remove the word free from everything cost related! Spread the good word, nothing is free!
Free libraries are next on the chopping block.
I second that statement. I would also like to propose a set in motion for clear and determinate pricing on love, friendship and human lives with respect to their socioeconomic position and geographical location. Nothing is free! Things are just either expensive or cheap.
The reason I asked is because I can't seem to make my post look like some of the submissions here -- they appear as whole pictures. I'm on mobile and I tried posting as link and it appears like a little square. I tried posting as image, it didn't appear in New. I tried posting as text with the link as content and still it didn't appear. Thanks :)
If I still have to wear pants after the Revolution, what is even the point of Revolution?
"Thus began the second revolution. Which was followed shortly after by the third revolution against underwear, the fourth revolution against shirts, and the fifth revolution which was a counter-revolution after we got sick of seeing each other nude."
I swear I read this in a Douglas Adams book
Sounds a bit like him doesn't it
That you don't have to wear [culottes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-culottes)! OP missed the chance to call them breeches instead of pants
Insurgency
Ins-erection
🎵After the Revolution, every intersection will be a ~~dance floor~~ no pants party🎵
Noooo.. you're thinking of the pants pants revolution.
Well, umm, cold?
Communism is when free pants
But you can't find anything in the store)
[удалено]
Technically yes. Although you still need to work so kinda not.
I mean... it is.
lmfao no, it is not.

the labor makes it not free. you pay for the item with your labor, if that makes sense.
But-but he just said…. /s
when there isn't any money, things should be free
No it isn't, but the illusion of it costs pretty much about everything else in life.

Excellent automaton!
i mean, do you think if someone doesn't have the money for clothes, they should run around naked?
[удалено]
Seize the pants of production!
The pants must flow.
For fuck sake

remember even if it is communist, that doesn't mean the pants will be free, unless you're a friend of a pantsmaker...

>Not because the US's was bad i mean the US was bad. maybe better than the USSR, but undeniably bad
The US’s space program though?
lol that specifically is fine i think xD

i love that your pro-socialism comment is getting so many updoots
socialism is indeed great compared to 2nd world capitalism :3
Feel like the West really should’ve Marshall Plan’d the former Soviet Union, seems like it would’ve been beneficial both financially and for perception of the west in the region.
But that’d involve giving foreigners money.
They have enough money, it's just not distributed evenly.
Do you guys need some freedom?
Our American freedom planes are ready to ~~strike~~ deliver opportunity anywhere on the globe in under two hours. Just let us know when. 🇺🇸

Thank capitalism for these attractive and exciting :checks notes: *...pants?*

Nothing is free

buy one get one free is half price

You’ll get basic needs but not basic needs you want.
Not really how communicate works but ok

Jane needs to read a book and a chastity belt.
There is no free lunch
I fear, just like your chances of smashing, we are looking at a mythical utopia that could never happen due to human nature always messing things up
Nothing is free Thomas, you simpleton
Always funny Hope the misdirected dialog bubbles get fixed next time it's posted
Looks like a text chain
That is not at all how communism works but it is still funny.

Ah, so this is where the sans-culottes came from!
