We’ve yet to have true communism anywhere in my opinion. The road to communism opens up too many pathways to corruption and tyranny that so far have always been taken advantage of.
I think communism as a concept would be great but I just don’t think true communism is possible, at least not long term anyway.
Maybe somewhere in more ancient times we had something close to it, but I’m currently unaware.
Funny, because when surveyed, most older folks in ex-soviet states say that life was actually better under the socialists than it is now. Like, it still wasn’t perfect, but most people felt more secure, had more access to housing, jobs, and necessities, and felt like the people around them were actually working together for the common good to build something equitable.
I imagine the tyranny was less felt in rural areas where a true sense of community still existed. And id correlate longer living wonders with living in those rural areas too. Wonder if that could be a reason?

Or it could be that life actually was better…
I didn’t refute that…

True communism only works on a small scale. As soon as there are enough people that everyone doesn’t know everyone else, it collapses.
It really puts the community in communism
Yup, kinda the whole point! And why the authoritarian “communist” governments are BS.
I guess like communes right? Now that i say it it sounds stupid just saying it considering the name
Yes, exactly like communes. As soon as you get too many moochers who take and don’t contribute, they fall apart.
