    Only as far as authoritarian systems that are communist in name only always end up that way.

      While communism is often misused as a tool by authoritarians who fake being communist to implement their corruption, I think by its very nature it invites these issues. I love the ideals, don’t get me wrong, but it needs an answer for enforcement. The only one I’ve seen-- community enforcement of expectations-- only works if everyone in the system is 100% on board. Let me know what you think if you’d like, I admittedly don’t know a lot about communism.

        I agree with you. Its a great system if everyone knows everyone else. On a large scale, human nature means pure communism will always fail.
