This model assumes, first of all, that "there are three kinds of people possible, relative to any political system":

Relative to any single, political system, you may have people who have the following significant variety of attitudes:

1. "I don't want anything to do with this political system, even though everyone else chose it. I want to be left alone, and left out of this system, as much as possible." (Doesn't want to participate, isn't ambitious)

2. "I want to nominally participate in this political system, but, I want to do the least amount of work possible within it, while otherwise having as much fun as possible. I'm willing to work with the others, but I would like to do that as little as possible, in exchange for having as much freetime as possible, to have as much fun as possible." (Wants to minimally participate, isn't ambitious)

3. "I want to maximize the efficiency and proficiency of human society, along with others who want to do that" (Wants to participate a lot, is ambitious)

A "Freedom Communism" model is devised to attempt to meet the wants of these three different groups, all at once. There are ambition-seekers, fun-seekers, and those who want to be left alone. How can we provide ideal conditions for all of them at once, in a system that overall emphasizes both freedom and societal proficiency?
