Communism can work, provided that all participants agree with it. If you have a member who dissents he should be free to leave with no harm done. The Shaker community lasted for decades and they were a communistic society. They pooled the resources and sold goods to the outside world, and threw the profits in the pool for all to use. If a member wished to leave the commune he was given money to start out and wished well. THAT is communism at it's best, not the forced communism we were taught to hate, and rightly so. Communism isn't evil, it's the false application or perversion of it's tenets that are.

How many people are we talking about here? It's really different to compare the dynamic of a few hundred people who are all onboard for something, then trying to 200+ million who have no idea what the hell is going on.
