    They did attempt to be communist, but they failed like every other attempt will fail. Greed is basic human nature, and those who have it more than others will find a way to abuse the system, get in charge and ruin it.

      What did they do to be communist? And what about a society where there is no such thing as ‘in charge’?

        How would a society like that work?
