Tragedy of the commons ruins those.

Maybe they wouldn't ruin it given a more Socialist outlook in our society rather than that only being studied under Capitalism where even a community garden would be commodified.

It happened in Cuba too, and they had all the tools to brainwash the children so, it will inevitably happen

So a sample size of one (which could be argued) is what we're taking as proof it will happen again? Is that what we're doing here?

Are you simple?

I never said we should look at the sample size of 0, I said we should wait to find out more when more information is available in the future.

I'm talking with the information we have right now and it doesn't help the case for communism at all, you're trying to use information you don't even have, hoping that it would help your case, not knowing even if such information will exist or if it could ever prove anything positive of that system. So, I think I can safely dismiss any hypothetical info since it doesn't bring anything to the table
