There’s an almost infinite number of strains of communism. But no matter what you pick, someone has to have the power to allocate resources. If it’s the individual that’s given power, as in some variants of anarchocommunism, there has to be strong external controls to prevent markets from re-emerging or you end up in ancapistan. My personal opinion is that Maoism takes capitalism the most realistically, and the cultural revolution is an example of the measures needed to prevent capitalism from re-emerging amoung the more competent laborers at the expense of the less competent. Anarcho communism is a bit of a joke because it assumes the ground reality does not have runaway cybernetic feedback loops, which have been demonstrated to exist in technocapital.
