Anarcho communism is cool and stuff but you do realize that human nature wouldn’t allow for it to work, right? Humans are selfish. They will try to take power.

Emma Goldman just rolled her eyes in her grave.

And wild bears break into houses because they’re looking for a tricycle to ride.

What does that have to do with anything?

Bears in captivity ride tricycles so it’s obviously “ursine nature” to behave that way.

I’m not really sure how animal abuse in captivity is relevant to the selfish nature of humans.

And anarchism would turn into a world of what is now considered crime. Look at what people do with laws, and imagine what they would do without them.
Look at the book Animal Farm, for example. Even The Lorax works as an argument. Animal Farm was originally written as satire for Stalinist Russia. However, it has grounds in society today. Why does the US have “checks and balances” to keep one branch of government from becoming too powerful? BECAUSE HUMANS WILL TRY TO TAKE POWER IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY, AND IT CORRUPTS. In Animal Farm, the pigs took power because they were the smartest. They originally were (at least supposedly) there to help the other animals. However, as time went on, since the other animals weren’t smart enough to notice or fight back, the pigs started to take advantage of them. Sure, they were animals in the book, but they were personified animals. They were showing what humans would do in that situation.

Now, I know that’s Stalinist communism, not Marxism. I think communism is a beautiful idea, but I don’t think that it is possible to totally implement it in a way that would work. I don’t think humans can’t be taught. Our current way of life is too far ingrained into us, and by the time we got it learned, I find it hard to believe that the group teaching us wouldn’t have taken power. 

I’m not saying I don’t like communism, I just don’t think it can be implemented properly given how ingrained in our current lifestyle we are without it backfiring somehow.

(Also if capitalism has been around longer than communism I think that it would be our nature not just conditioning) 

Anarcho communism is cool and stuff but you do realize that human nature wouldn’t allow for it to work, right? Humans are selfish. They will try to take power.

EDIT: I don’t understand how it would work large scale. Also, I’ve backed off this argument. Also, ya’ll keep saying we’ll find the answers to how it would work later. Frankly, I’m not going to subscribe to an idea until I understand how it would work.
