EULER'VE TO SEE IT VENN SOMEONE CALLS IT THE WRONG THING AND PROVOKES MY WRATH

The problem with communism is that everyone lies about where the money flows. Find me a method of socialism, community property or otherwise and I'll show you how the system rapidly devolves into a fedudalism/oligarch setup within 1 generation. This happens because Communist systems rely on equal distributions instead of rules of law, which stem from property rights. Property rights of ownership mean there will always be an imbalance of wealth. If ownership is transferred to the State, the same actors who become moguls in Capitalism switch their careers from trying to build profit sharing companies to Oligarch cartels which can encapture whole industries/countries for the same amount of "sweat equity" required to build a corporate entity. When this happens any illusion of equal distribution dissolves (because courts lack enforcement of property confiscation) and your system rapidly collapses into a bribery/patronage scheme.
