I’m sure you mean well but communism is an impractical ideal just as unconditional love is. The reality is if you add humans you can’t have true communism or true unconditional love. Humans are animals and thus we are innately wired to act like animals. For an individual to fight against that is both incredibly noble and naive at the same time. To imagine a group of individuals in a community, other than a monastery (but even there I have my doubts), is only, naïve.

When Buddha said, “pain is inevitable, suffering is optional” he was referring to humans’ propensity to attempt to rebel or fight against ‘what is’. It is far wiser to accept us as we are, animals, prone to animalistic behaviour.

What I mean by this is, we are innately wired to look after ourselves and our loved ones ahead of all others and if that means to the detriment of all others, when push comes to shove, so be it.
