'latge-scale' communism is unworkable.
clearly not a necessity for a society to work, or no society can ever work.
In fact, not liking and agreeing with each other all the time is a
necessity for the very survival of a community. Yes, we're all pretty
selfish at the core, but we're not as stupid as we most often act. If it is in
our own interest to "get along", we usually learn to get along. The rest is
just academic trivia (capitalism, communism, this ism and that ism).

Every system has it's flaws. Communism,Capitalism,kingdoms,Democracy, etc.... I think though some systems are better than others. Communism on a small scale (like what the hippies did in the 60's) works for a while but like someone stated here humans are greedy by nature so it would beak down. My opinion of course some type of democracy is best. (Government elected by the people). I guess history would show what worked best. Communism to me would only work in a true utopia / heaven (does not exist on earth) Anyway good subject.

I'm sujesting no boarders. Education and childhood for all childern will be possiable becasue the boarders will be gone and so families can move away from counrties where they need all day to collect food. No wars because there are no boundries to push. No wars means no waste of money on guns and then when we give money to countries it won't go on arms but in arms. 😉
Secondary it would become that there would be no factories becasue there'd be no want for the cheap objects, this is becasue we'd all be more aware of our surounding countries and we'd just want what's essential, which will be paid for properly. A shared wealth and then you and I won't have this bad feeling that we know there are people starving and we have plenty.
