I keep running up against this wall when talking to people about communism in the “wild”:

“Give me an example of a real world country that flourished after transitioning to communism.”

When I look at statistics relating to human flourishing, I can’t seem to find any instances where adopting communism lead to more human flourishing. It seems like a lot of people can’t be satisfied with the theory, they need a real world practical example to be convinced that it is viable.

Do you guys have any good examples I can use?

    Thanks for the honest answer.

    I personally understand why people don’t want to demolish a system from which they prosper and within which they enjoy a high living standard.

      Also our brains are deeply molded by capitalism, as part ofnit is difficult to think that there will be some other system in the future (like there were before this one). Thinking that a society without money or nations (as an example) could work, is really really hard to consider. Is like telling a peasant from the middle ages thet he/she could own land.
