<p>I’m not really trying to make an argument for communism here, I agree with you on most of what you’re saying. Yeah, not working in theory is the big strike, with humanity being the primary enforcer of that impediment. I mention it as the best theoretical government because if we were to be what we consider to be “good” under general terms, communism would play out very well. However, of course, corruption quickly manipulate the system into what you see in reality, and the selflessness is not often found in the population as a whole, so no one ends up happy.</p>
<p>My point however was that what you associate with communism is just a symptom of the nature of humanity you hinted at, and not communism itself. Once again, “Perhaps we should focus on, say, not killing each other as a start.” has nothing to do with communism. Communism actually works very well in controlled environments, and it used on a very micro level in daily life if you want to get technical. Small groups/teams keep the corruption down and it is a great method in those cases. So, don’t write communism down as “kill everyone”, because that simply is not what it is.</p>
