There is no reason to work in a communist country, so there is no innovation or creativity. There are no Bill Gates or Steve Jobs in a communist country. No Jeff Bezos. Just bored, low paid and high taxed unhappy workers.
The dream of a communist paradise doesn’t work. It appears to work for a while, during the time when the accumulated wealth is being drawn down and redistributed. When that money is gone the country flies headlong into misery.
(Except for the ruling elite, which is always taken care of very well, while the ordinary folk starve in the dark.)

Problem is, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the low info, low intelligence minions pushing communism thinks HE/SHE/IT will be among that elite. Communism never works that way and they always find out too late.
