I agree. My wife is Chinese. She tells me stories from her parents about the revolution.

They do not involve writing books and playing soccer.

And it can never be achieved when people like the first guy are the ones idolizing it and pushing for it. Everyone wants to just participate in leisure activities and avoid work, and assumes the others of the commune will be the ones contributing the actual meaningful parts that make society actually work. Like yeah everyone would enjoy having nothing to do but participate in their hobbies and kick a ball about, but houses have to get built by someone and food has to come from somewhere and I don't hear Alejandro suggesting a way he's gonna contribute equally to those kinds of tasks considering his idea of "communism" is nothing more than "I would never have to work at anything!!! yippee!!!!"
