You're the one that has no argument.
First, there is not just one idea of how would Communism would be done, there could be huge communes which are entirely self-sufficient, or there could be federations of them, there could be industrialized communes or agricultural communes, Et Cetera.
Second, read this: http://anarchism.pageabode .com/anarcho/the-economics-of-anarchy

Communism can work...
In a smaller scale, that is. |

'Communism DOES NOT EQUAL DICTATORSHIP'
--------------------------------------------------
uh huh, right...
Explain China, Cuba, Laos, Vietname and North Korea and all the former communist states.
Saying the communism was never experimented in those countries clearly proves that you cant admit that COMMUNISM CAN NEVER WORK IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM IN ANY PLACE, ANY TIME, AND WHO IS LEADING IT.
Communism would only work if you WANT oppression, corrupt government or propaganda constantly telling you lies. |

You are so stubborn... I thought that after the 100th time everyone here would have understood that is not Communism.
@Aztec
The way I think it could work on a bigger scale is with intercommunal festivals a la potlatch in a society where the majority are Communists (in the ones that have been so far self-interest played a part, but if everyone is a Communist things might change).

| I'm just going to put out there that though their form of communism has worked in the past, most of the societies have been defeated by a "capitalist" type society later on. I.E The Native Americans Vs the Europeans. |

Show me a stateless commune society as Marx intended.
Im no communist, and I doubt it would work, but claiming that China or Cuba or the Soviet Union are/were communist is like claiming 10th century Russia was some capitalist paridise.
It wasn't, they aren't, and it's laughable to claim so. |

| Like i said it never will work, marx's society wouldn't work off of the fact that there will always be one person trying to get power. Or large groups of people forming some form of structured leadership. Also if you thought that I mean the USSR or China, that would be wrong. The USSR and China had/have a government, true communism has no government. |

Then it's just an ideal, just like any other. Whats the problem with people holding their idea of what an ideal society is/should be? Does it offend you or something? |

All I said was that communism =/= totalitarianism.
I didn't even use the word Anarchy once until now in this thread. |

Does't really matter what I think it is. I can onyl go so far as to refer you to the ideals of Marx.
"A society which is classless and stateless, based upon common ownership of the means of production with free access to articles of consumption, the end of economic exploitation." |

@DrCaneJr-
Communism HAS worked before, but it was crushed in the end by capitalistic ideas. (Refer to my last post) |

| It was working, for the time. If the Europeans didn't arrive you and I would not exist, and there would still be a communal society in america. |

| Not entirely true since none of my ancestors are native to America, I would just live in Europe. |
