But that is the problem with actual Communism. You can shoot for the stars and try to create a paradise. But someone must allocate resources, make tough decisions, etc. and ultimately you have the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" axiom staring you in the face.

man did not evolve from a hive, or a herd, and I don't think we will ever become selfless enough for that type of utopia to be created.
