Having visited 1 of the only 3 communist states last year( Not Cuba or North Korea the other one) it is not a pretty site. The have nots have nothing the haves , have got everything and more. The heating was even ruled by the government unless you could afford your own heating.The radiators come on at 5pm(the temp in the daytime gets down to - 10 to -15 and -15 to -20 at night in the winter) and even then they are barely warm, the hot water is a joke. I twould be warmer to p iss yourself than rely on he water from the taps. Luckily since June they have voted out the communists and elected a pro western government. Things haven't changed yet but they might. I met a 67 year old women working in a museum to earn a little extra money as her government pension was less than £3 a month. Prices of most items are more expensive than in the UK . Most elderly people rely on money from family working abroad or as i saw begging ( this women was well over 70 and the temp was freezing). When i was there in the summer saw a women who charged 1 of the local currency ( 15 to the £) for using her bathroom scales this was in the main street in the capital.Do you think you would see the same on Oxford Street. Be careful what you wish for. Can you guess the country.

The only problem with wanting a non-mentalist communist state is that you have to be mental to think it would work in the first place.

It may be a lovely idea as a theory but when you factor in human greed it has not, can not and will never work ever.
