Actually, Communism has never existed.
Primitive communism has, just not industrial or post industrial.
Jewish kibbutz
There was also the hybrid communism system which was called a technit
Neither has capitalism
Ah. We need an anarchist state so we can give capitalism a proper go /s
The term was specifically created to describe the status quo when Karl Marx was knocking about.
If true communism has never existed, then wouldnt it stand to reason that capitalism hasn't either? You cannot buy drugs etc legally. I'm talking about snow crash/BioShock capitalism.

Oh. Well I'm not, haha. Capitalism for me is when the means of production is in private hands and the owner employs people to do the labour for a fraction of the value of the end product in order to make a profit. That quite accurately describes the current status quo, I think!
Well okay, point taken.
I don't believe that, but it's certainly true that some people compare real world capitalism and hypothetical utopian communism, etc., which is obviously not a serious comparison.
Every family or tribal unit is essentially communism. It's not like money changes hands between small children and parents. It's literally "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs".
Family or tribal unit is single agent
