I mean think about it.

You just need a library card (usually free if not always) and you can get anything a library offers for free with no fees. This use to be just movies, books, music CDs (think early 2000’s and 1990’s but now you can even get new video games for free. (physical copies)

it’s a collective resource for a lot of media based products. Most countries, (if not all) have and tend to support public libraries.

but is this a good communism service. when looking at communist principles? What does the community think?

    I understand communism to be a classless society, to have Collective (or common) ownership of the means of productions. Along with the absence of money eventually. Or at least it aims to for most of these things.

    Libraries meet most of this, if not all of it.

      Libraries are not a whole society.

      They are funded by property taxes, harvested under capitalism, and beholden to a web of reactionary shitlib beaurocracy.

        Like I said depending on the environment, you can make small changes to how libraries work to fit it under communism. It doesn’t *have to be like that just because it is in certain locations with their own ways of doing things.
