The litmus test for all these funny ideas about human nature, societies and economy is the reality. Remember: communist countries during the Cold War had machine guns on the border turned inwards so people couldn’t leave. We were trying to vote with our feet, to escape the “utopia” being pushed down our throats… Do you know of a communists society that works? Go ahead, live there for a while and tell us how it is. There are a few “experiments” running in the world right now. Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, even China. What I know is that when I was in Cuba people were asking me how we got rid of communism. They were still trying to swim/float to the USA instead of appreciating their excellent healthcare. When my country (Eastern Europe, not USSR) made the switch to capitalism we got the “privilege” to experience the difference live and it was night and day: we (slowly) transitioned from fear, cold and starvation to full shelves, city breaks and fat people. I am not aware of any successful communist society but feel free to provide examples.
