Please don't resort to personal attacks. The issue with creating a communist society inside a capitalist society is that it is only possible for people who already have access to capital. People without access to capital do not have that option. If it is unjust to exclude others from private property or if the person who owns the private property gained in unjustly, then it is unjust if only those who own private property can opt out of capitalism.

There are plenty of people with reasonable amounts of capital who are enamoured with communism. If you can't make it work after pooling the resources of a dozen or so people, that just proves that you have no business managing the pooled resources of an entire nation. The real problem with implementing communism, embedded in a capitalist society or otherwise, is you inevitability need to use violence to force your neighbors to join you. It's an intrinsically violent ideology that leads only to death and ruin.

  You are ignoring all of the violence that has happened under capitalism in the form of colonialism, slavery, resource wars, and homelessness.

    You are ignoring all of the people with ass cancer that the covid vaccine failed to save. Also, the fact that even one person died of old age in our current system is a tragedy caused by capitalism and the mRNA vaccine. We can do better. Vote CPUSA today. Actually, you have a point because communism does provide a solution to the human condition. Just alienate humans from their nature so thoroughly (typically through death) that conditions become positively inhuman. No wars, no homelessness. No territorial expansion. No religion. I can hear John Lennon singing in Mandarin now. So if your commune in the Nevada desert hasn't solved slavery in Dubai yet, you just need to drum circle harder while citing Cuban literacy rates.
