        Communism doesn’t have to have to be top-down. I honestly don’t believe that it ever can be, and that people who try to do things that way are either naive and doomed to failure or liars doing a great job manipulating everyone.

          20th century Marxism polluted the word Communism. even Marx said he would not call himself a Marxist.

          The administration of things is still a state no matter how much they wish it wasn’t.

      I think the key difference is that good behavior was facilitated and enforced by personal relationships. It’s not clear how this social arrangement could exist at larger scales.

      At had a few things that look similar, but it was nothing like what Marx imagined.
