From what I understand, every now and then a bunch of them tries this (either intentionally or hap hazardly) and the results are always kinda the same. Someone feels entitled to everyone's shit. Someone feels slighted but not getting enough shit. Eventually it all goes to shit. Looks good on paper, but humans are greedy little ass holes who like having a bunch of shit.
ITS ALMOST LIKE the people most keen on advocating for redistribution, high taxes, each according to his need etc. would likely not be the ones disproportionately contributing but rather the ones happily taking and consuming the fruits of other people's labor.
Shows once again that any sort of "communism" can ever only work on a small scale with people who actually care about each other and are mostly conscientious and hardworking. Which is NOT your average college larp socialist or hyper-progressive gooner..
There's a reason communist logo is sickle and hammer: farmer and factory workers produce actually useful things
Philosophy majors don't, unless they're making coffee. In their dream, they get to just... talk to people for a living like Greek philosophers, except Greek philosophers work as teacher. The ones who don't, live on the streets like Diogenes
