    Yeah it doesn’t work because resources are scarce. Then on a national scale only a few people have control over these scarce national resources. Which gives these people too much power. And often the people in control are sociopaths especially if they came in to power via a revolution aka a violent coup.

      Then you have failed to implement communism. Why are you only giving a few people access?

            I understand that. Let’s say everyone has access. Suddenly someone decides they want it all. Someone polices the amount people can take. Then they have the access and the process repeats

            This was there same system imposed in communes. At scale, the threat of public shame is no longer enough

              Nah

              the community polices the amount people can take.

              If you set aside a class of “protectors”, you’re just asking for trouble.

                Okay, so people will always take more than they should. We see this time and again with quite literally every single power system. What do you propose we do to make sure everyone gets their share?

                  Why are you asking me to repeat myself? And also, why do you have so little faith in democracy? Bourgeois democracy, sure, but actual democracy of the people, with no bureaucracy?

                    So everyone decides who gets what and when. What if you’re not really liked in your community? Personally I don’t really have faith in humanity in general
