Properly executed meaning not China, not the USSR, so on. If communism worked, what would we LOSE from giving up capitalism?
I'm thinking mostly productivity and maybe a bit of a drop in the quality of life, and a lot of work falling to the shoulders of a few. Let's say we live in X, and we have a farm. We all own the farm, we all eat the bread made using the wheat from the farm, but I don't know how many people would want to go and actually work the farm just out of the goodness of their hearts.
I think that for communism to work, we need to have it surivive for one or two generations so we can change our collective mindset from 'I, me, mine," to "Everyone, us, ours."
I know my username is misleading but I'm delving deeper in to communism and can't find a straightforward answer.
