    Real communism will never work for the same reason a completely free market would never work.

    Too many people are greedy and selfish.

      People are shaped by their environment, people seem greedy and selfish because of Capitalism. Primitive communism existed for thousands of years, and people were cooperative and communal.

      Why do you believe selfish and greedy people existing in Communism would strain or ruin it?

        Primitive communism existed for thousands of years

        This is fundamentally flawed. You can’t compare primitive societies to modern states. The reason communism worked in primitive societies is the same reason communism works in families. It’s not something that can just be expanded to thousands of millions of people who don’t know each other
