Communism really isn't about community though. Communal community isn't. It's about the abolition of private property above anything else.

The reason it never gets past the totalitarian shithole phase is because after some humans hoarded all the power and disempowered everyone else, guess what, they don't want to let go of it.

Communism always leads to violence, unless it's small scale and voluntary opt-in. Think about it, how are the commies gonna abolish private property? By expropriating everyone's stuff.

Do people generally want to lose all their possessions and accumulated capital? No they don't, and for very good reasons.

So they must be forced to do so, and predictably violence follows.

It is no surprise then that Communism tops the charts for genocide and mass-murder by a very large margin.
