Matters are not evenly distributed.

Edit: lol this is as controversial as I expected

    It is not equally distributed in communism either. The ruling class always gets awarded more.

      Maybe in a Marxist-Leninist state, but not in communism defined as a stateless classless society. There is no ruling class in such a society.

        And what happens as soon as you have a stateless and classless society?

          For those communities that do already have a stateless, classeless society, you mean? This happens.

          The TL:DR is that you function on the agreed-upon principles of horizontality and mutual aid, but I know that doesn’t sound like a satisifying answer, and there are so many ways that might look.

        In China during the one-child policy, some people had multiple more than just one kid. You couldn’t buy that with money iirc. Tbh I don’t know much about China’s form of communism though

          China followed Maoism, which was also an authoritarian state. In such theories, they are “communist” in that they ostensibly seek to progress to a communist society. Tbh I doubt the sincerity of such a pursuit.

          There are communities that could be genuinely considered communist in its true form, but people typically don’t cite them as examples of communism working since they’re not nation-states … which is the whole point lol

          Not certain, but I’m fairly sure you could pay for more children.

            Right, there were permits for it, but with what money, back before it went capitalist? Anyway, it was one of the perks of the ruling class.
