    Ok, I misspoke.

    Sure, Communism can work at small scales where there is a culturally homogeneous population. Which is why cities and municipalities have the freedom to adopt communist ideals.

    The USA in total is far too large and diverse to make it work country wide. We are, by design, neither culturally, politically, or geographically homogeneous.

    It would take an all powerful small ruling class forcing compliance in order to make it work on such a large scale. Now we are back to Totalitarianism operating under the guise of “the good of the people!!”

    Even at the small scale, we have examples of this not working. CHAZ/CHOP were taken over by opportunists that wanted to benefit themselves at the expense of all others in the community. There is simply too much diversity of thought in the USA to make it work.

      They do? Since when?

      The USA in total is far too large and diverse to make it work country wide.

      Where is your proof of this?

      neither culturally, politically, or geographically homogeneous.

      You sound no different than the right-wingers pretending that “cultural (ie, racial, since right-wingers don’t actually have the foggiest clue what culture is) homogeneity” is what makes countries successful.

      It would take an all powerful small ruling class forcing compliance in order to make it work on such a large scale.

      Lol! Says who? You?
