Constraints should not be seen as limitations but as a problem-solving tool

You might think this is not important to communists, but I think it is. At least if I made my point understandable.

    Good stuff. On this part:

    Problems have a solution: if there is no solution, then there is no problem. This is always true.

    I take it it’s meant to be a logical thing? Like: So long as there is a possibility of a solution, you can try. When there isn’t a possibility, there’s nothing to solve at that point. (Though there are probably few cases that would fit with there being no possible solution.)

    Or do you have some other meaning in mind?

      It’s a dialectical meaning. If there’s no solution to a problem, then you have something other than a problem on your hands. An impossibility or a fatality. You must thus reframe that impossibility until it becomes a problem so that a solution for it exists.

      In practical terms: I’m hungry on this desert island and there’s no food around me -> being hungry is not a fatality, I can find food -> finding food becomes the problem, how do I solve it? -> I’ll go walk around the beach and look for coconut trees.
