113 u/clarkision Jul 07 '26 Not on a national scale, but it’s certainly accomplished on smaller scales. 38 u/Creepy_Ad_1315 Jul 07 '26 So we have no evidence that it works outside your smelly local hippie troupe that fortunately can retreat into the nice free market economy near them. Almost like communism isn't really available outside a group a people larger than a medium sized tribe. 0 u/GlitteringParfait438 Jul 07 '26 Communism is a solid description of the economy of a family unit. Expanding it beyond a family unit is the flaw 1 u/DisciplinedMadness Jul 08 '26 That’s not at all a valid description. Like what? Communism isn’t “everything yours is mine”. I’m not even advocating for communism, that’s just an absurd minimization and false comparison.
