It doesn't work with thieves.
It doesn't work with welfare cases.
It doesn't work with authoritarians.
It doesn't work with the sick.
It will never work with humanity. Humans are incompatible with communism.
What's funny is that it's the thieves and welfare cases and drug addicts that you currently look down upon who are going to come together and prove you wrong.

i was laughing about this thread with my partner this morning when the realisation suddenly struck - you guys really do think that any scenario where people are helping each other or working for a common good instead of blind rugged selfish individualism is communism, don't you? if it's not me first, guns up, then it's brainwashed sjw fascism
this is hilarious

I don’t know. Hitler really hated commies. Hated them more than Joe McCarthy did.

Not to sound like an anti-Semite, but Judaism in theory and practicality is probably the earliest form of communism, even though communism/Marxism views religion as a drug fueling fantasy.
"Don't let yourself get *COLLECTED* by Collectivists"
That the National Socialists embraced socialism is factually accurate.
“As naturally as the ruled always took the morality imposed upon them more seriously than did the rulers themselves, the deceived masses are today captivated by the myth of success even more than the successful are. Immovably, they insist on the very ideology which enslaves them. The misplaced love of the common people for the wrong which is done to them is a greater force than the cunning of the authorities.”
“Even the aesthetic activities of political opposites are one in their enthusiastic obedience to the rhythm of the iron system.”

No, it goes back farther. Lots of scholars consider many ancient tribes and small societies to represent “primitive communism.”
The first church of Jerusalem basically was a form of this (I know that triggers right wingers), and there are even Christian communists partly for this reason.
Going back to my post above, it’s a bit inaccurate though as this is more socialism, not communism. Communism is the final goal of no state or class. Literally anarchy.
