    So your argument is “NO YOU!!”?

    Many small collectives in the US adopt communist values, like Menenites, Mormons or Amish.

    My proof is that, despite the overall majority of social media users stating that communism is the way, it hasn’t been adopted country wide because the actual majority of people don’t want it, aka a difference in ideology, aka non homogeneous population.

    So saying that every single person in the USA that doesn’t subscribe to the same ideology based on their own personal experiences and surroundings isn’t just a personal political identity, it’s racism?

    Says historical accounts of communism being “gently forced” onto a non homogeneous population.

    I see that you are just one of those people that thinks everything is tied to race. Saying a population is non homogeneous is not racist. You are putting that spin on it based on your own preconceived ideas.

    Ok, I misspoke.

    Sure, Communism can work at small scales where there is a culturally homogeneous population. Which is why cities and municipalities have the freedom to adopt communist ideals.

    The USA in total is far too large and diverse to make it work country wide. We are, by design, neither culturally, politically, or geographically homogeneous.

    It would take an all powerful small ruling class forcing compliance in order to make it work on such a large scale. Now we are back to Totalitarianism operating under the guise of “the good of the people!!”

    Even at the small scale, we have examples of this not working. CHAZ/CHOP were taken over by opportunists that wanted to benefit themselves at the expense of all others in the community. There is simply too much diversity of thought in the USA to make it work.
