A very few might, but they’ve no where near the distributed cooperative we have. They depend on tech, social senescence and blind obedience to doctrine. They can’t adapt as quickly to a fluid situation. The root of socialism/collectivism is specialization and as Heinlein said, specialization is for insects...
Great post. Important point.
On the battlefield, the crazy yankees wing it when the official plan goes awry. The communists are left standing around waiting for orders (that may or may not ever come).
That gives us a HUGE, YUGE advantage in the fog/chaos of war.
