The cold truth of ANY Socialist or Communist scheme is that none of the grandiose plans for the new utopia come to fruition, because once it becomes clear to the most productive members of the group that they shall not be justly rewarded, the total output of goods and services falls to subsistence levels, and all the threats in the world will not flog anybody into doing more than just enough to avoid punishment.

Incentives work. Every time they are tried. Positive rewards work so much better and open up so many new opportunities than mere threats ever can.

Someone earlier posted a piece about the “commune” attempt at Plymouth which went down pretty quickly.
