As far as i know, communism from an origin and tought as it on the theoretical plane has TWO Big problems and those are:

  1. Comunism tends to not know what actually is needed to produce

in a capital-less society, being, on this ideal no money, nobody can’t really say what its needed, when, and how, hey maybe democracy can do a rough equivalent to that BUT not as good,decentralized and acurate as money itself.

  1. Comunism has a problem on incentives

Incentives, can be divided into by benefit,you can get something by doing other stuff, or you do that other stuff in hopes of avoiding a not so agradable scenario.

The thing is that communism, being a stateless, and buisnessless society on its end goal, only has to incentives, happy chemicals for doing something, its a matter that fullfils you or you directly need or social pressure, either good or bad, there is no other ,mostly, third way.

So I want to know wether how could it work in a modern,globalized society and how those two problems can be solved or not and on the how of the posible solution.

Btw, I want to know if im being rude or something,and my english is not that good but im genuinelly curious about how the left can solve these problems.

    The original communes are not “stateless” or “businessless”, they’re just outside that, more like a monestery. But they can easily interact with states and businesses - those’d just be outside the commune.

    Lots of communes work quite well in small scale.

    Many family or tribal groups are basically communes (not all though), some companies or workplaces work kindof like that too. They’re using (cheap) trust and fair shares within the bounds of the commune, instead of (expensive) lawyers, ownership and micro-contracting. Though of course you can have personal property within a commune.

    But scale up beyond easy observability, and beyond the effectiveness of tit-fot-tat justice (and the power of things like shame) and you get similar problems to all larger scale human societies. The situation diminishes from a repeated “prisoners dilemma” with observability, to a one-shot “game”.
