It's called Crony Capitalism not Communism. In Crony Capitalism the people suffer. In Communism, everyone suffers.
When the government owns it the government controls it, that's never good. It's better with small mom & pop businesses. Even big corporate businesses become soulless and impossible to deal with.

Fear mongering is such a cry... and private enterprise through association and investment that lobby to keep the American public blind deaf and dumb to what is the public as a housing and health care that was enacted as law based on income and scale that the minimum wage is based off of... in not using it and seeking the private? Everyone is poor broke or rolling in it laughing at both ends.
Anytime such a thing is brought up? It gets called communism instead of public and when public gets attached? Oh no the shame for what everyone has worked for and could be better as free housing, healthcare, food, and education but no we prideful bigots want to denigrate everyone as if we didn't earn all of that and want to keep suffering each other and our-self(individual as claimed on taxes) a fool.
Seeing how that is all that's wrong with America? Easy to fix.
USE IT.
Drops the proverbial microphone.

I think a major driving factor behind 15 minute cities is that EV's are not going as planned. There hasn't been an expected revolution in battery technology and EV's are either going to be much more expensive than normal cars or sad tiny things that drive half as fast and don't have much range.
With fossil fuels becoming more expensive, what do you do? Well if you don't have a replacecment technology you have to redesign your national infrastructure.
No more commutes. Private vehicle ownership will be replaced with 15-minute cities and mass transporation if you do need to travel long distance.
Of course the elites will still have their yachts and private jets. Different rules.

Some people still believe in communism, but what they really believe in is the supreme leader.

"officially"? How? I just bought a very large caliber pistol and a case of ammo. Can you do that in a communist regime?
