L take, communism and socialism don't work and never will. There's a reason every communist or socialist country has failed or fallen back into capitalism for the masses and authoritarianism for the top.

"During the years of Stalin's reign, the Soviet nation made dramatic gains in literacy, industrial wages, health care, and women's rights. These accomplishments usually go unmentioned when the Stalinist era is discussed. To say that "socialism doesn't work" is to overlook the fact that it did. In Eastern Europe, Russia, China, Mongolia, North Korea, and Cuba, revolutionary communism created a life for the mass of people that was far better than the wretched existence they had endured under feudal lords, military bosses, foreign colonizers, and Western capitalists. The end result was a dramatic improvement in living conditions for hundreds of millions of people on a scale never before or since witnessed in history." Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism
read a book you moronic dipshit, specifically this one ,[https://valleysunderground.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/blackshirts-and-reds-by-michael-parenti.pdf] , look it's even free, you have 0 excuses to not educate yourself, you're welcome
No cars though. Fuck cars.
I'll never understand how owning guns is normalized.
It was normalized in the US because white settlers always had to be ready to commit genocide against indigenous people or put down slave revolts - that's what the 2nd amendment was really all about. In a socialist community, firearms will be necessary because there will always be nazis about (not to mention their ex-cop friends).
