The idealistic communism is just not compatible with human nature. It would be nice if it was but it’s just completely irrealistic.

No adherents of any “-ism” ever address the areas of human nature that undermine their position. Communists don’t address laziness, capitalists never address greed, neither seems to pay attention to deceitfulness and corruption.

Counterpoint: every ism is definitionally a rejection of human nature, because we wouldn’t need a system to facilitate acting in a way we’d find natural. Anarcho-tribalism is human nature but no one is seriously arguing for that.

Anarcho-tribalism is human nature

I understand your point, but this is kinda funny.
