Lol. My dad used to always says "this family ain't a democracy!" And would say basically this.

"Communalism" only works well in very small dunbar levels where deep relationships and commitment to each other is already in place. Like the early church in the book of Acts giving their land and wealth to the church for the care of the local poor and families, breaking bread together, and "having everything in common"

Terrible for a city or state level government structure though. Even in the early church people died for lying and behaving dishonorably towards that level of relational intimacy / commitment (just as my dad would have beaten my ass if I didn't put my mom first in food or comfort / well being within our family unit)
