That's a very real concern, you're right. Muad'dib, Muad'dib!
Also, there's no way I'll be able to provide for my parents. I'm broke and the economy isn't going to get better until the communists dismantle the government. They're going to be rotting in the old folks home using up the retirement savings they're lucky enough to have. We don't have those these days.
In my country, one of the children houses them (usually just the remaining one, which in my family and maybe in general happens to be the mom) and the others pool resources to contribute. Sometimes a nurse comes. It has to be cheaper than retirement homes, right? Idk, and it's not an easy convo to have even just between us if you have a good relationship with your parents cause reality can be cruel... but if you don't and it's deserved then I guess that's life!
Car companies wouldn't have bribed the government to increase car use if there was no money for them to get by selling cars.
Bribes are not a function of capitalism though.
The profit motive is a function of capitalism. Why would an anarcho-communist car manufacturing collective want to bribe the government to make people use more cars? There's no reason.
