It is contrary to human nature. It will only work by force. That is what is wrong with it.

well, that's communism as a whole.

Bolshevism is the creation of a party of "elite" "elect" (but not elected) folks on top -- Bolshies are an oligarchy, which is according to human nature. The policies they tried to implement on the lower masses (communist policies) including utter control of supply and demand was communism and THAT is contrary to human nature.

Only in a monastery or a kibbutz or to some extent a university can free sharing of resources occur. It doesn't work outside this rarefied world and even the monasteries, kibbutzes and universities interact with the capitalist economy, but as a united group of individuals. Communism is a failure and hard socialism that is practised by the democrats of today is also going to be a failure...

Our founders understood all to well this basic flaw in human nature, and tried their darnedest to build a cage around it with the US Constitution.

Utopianism will always, Always, ALWAYS fail, except in very finite, controlled situations as explained by Cronos.

MrB is right on the money. A leftist will NEVER acknowledge this, because it is contrary to their basic belief system.
