    To quote Jordan Peterson on this subject "How many more times and how many more Millions need to die before people realise it is flawed"

    Or as I put it - Communism is a wonderful idea, except for the bit requiring Humans.
    Most, if not all successful ancient cultures were communists. In fact, without communism the society collapses.

    Actually, what collapses is the parasitic elements in the community.

    And what ancient history demonstrates about totalitarian communist societies is that the longer force is used to prop up the parasites then the faster that society dies.

    And the solution is real simple, you don't even have to shoot the fucking parasites: you just have to stop feeding them.

    You do have to shoot any fuckwit forcing society to feed the parasites though.

    Uwotm8?

    Care to back that up? Considering most would be free market capitalist societies being either a democracy (Romans and Greeks) Monarchies (Rule Brittania, Spain), Dictatorships (Ceasar, Ghengis Kharn) or theocracies (The Vatican and it's influence).

    But - you said "Successful"....

    The Inuit, the Native Americans and Aboriginals - not exactly high on the success rankings - No great Empires, No major advances in Science or Technology, No great trading networks, No great literary works.

    All Insular and isolated peoples (with the exceptions of the Saxons)

    I'd also challenge that they were Communist - since they never got passed the extended family/tribal unit stage.

    You might have to review those thoughts
    They did quite well for many a year.
    Granted , a reindeer in the corners is slightly better than a Enfield and not as good as a cx500
    But u must admit they did quite well for quite a bit longer than our attempt.

    Did they?

    Look at the Chinese, the Vikings, the Greeks, The Egyptians, The Persians.

    Sorry - the best they did was Survive - and the ultimate proof of the pudding is what happened when they encountered Civilizations that were ACTUALLY successful...

    What about the Chinese , the Vikings the Egyptians, the Persians
    Where would u like to start?
    The Chinese trading silver for the Egyptian gold ? Which required slaves and guards supplied by war
    The Persians resistance against the Greek fiat money?
    And these are examples of successful civilizations?
    Meanwhile in mud huts in the Amazon jungle the natives keep trundling on in a bottom up Communistic tradition.....
