      The main issue is that they communism is economic policy, NOT social policy. While they do go hand in hand people often conflate the two. Many dictatorships use communism as a way to control the people but that doesn’t mean that communism leads directly to dictatorships.

        Communism is an economic fairy tale, not policy.
        It would be nice if it were possible but with the current state of the world, it is not.

        Social democracy is a reasonable compromise.

          Is true Communism even possible if it’s being attempted by flawed humans? Seems like it doesn’t matter the economic system so much as the fact that people will ruin anything given enough time.
