In theory, pure communism would be fine.
Unfortunately, the system is implemented by humans, and every time, no, make that: EVERY TIME it has been attempted, it has ended up failing, and in some cases, failing in ways that are hard to believe were real.
A shining example is the atrocity committed by Pol Pot against the people of Cambodia in the seventies.
His Communist worker's paradise brought the term "killing fields" into our language, with over one million people dead.

Sometimes it's hard for me to take communists seriously, because some of the loudest voices are people who are just edgelord contrarians. It's weird seeing some of these Youtubers promoting communism also live a luxourious lifestyle and have a wall of pop culture trinkets behind them.
I'm not saying that if you're a communist you have to live a life of poverty, but living the complete opposite lifestyle of driving a lambourghini and wearing only designer clothing doesn't come off as genuine to the cause either.

In the US, you have those proposing Socialism and Communism who live in gated communities and travel by private jet.
If you have any questions, check the abodes and travel plans of the ranking Democrats in Congress and the Senate.
