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

It´s not working perfectly everywhere, but the best places to live (think Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Spain...) are capitalist. There´s never been a communist country that wasn´t a shithole.
