Can work in a small scale, as in a village or a small town. Won't work on a country scale, as when you introduce more people the more greed enters the system and it will inevitably corrupt the governors.

communism depends on everyone involved choosing communal benefit over individual benefit, and poorly handles individuals who chose individual benefit over communal benefit - particularly if they just talk the talk of the reverse.

The foundation of a solid community is individual rights. Collectivist sovereignty is my preference. I have sovereignty, and recognize the benefit of getting others to recognize their peril sovereignty. ..but I still gain the benefits of sovereignty whether or not others learn how to do the same.
