Many religious communities aspire to communist practices. No ownership is the biggie, see. No private ownership of a "means of collective production." So like a monastery. Everything not "personal" is collective property organized around a collective goal.

really?

slaves built the electrical grid, interstate highway system, and installed the pipes that bring water to/from your house?

did slaves also lay your fiber cable? did slaves put the satellites you rely on into orbit?

No, none of that.

but Uyghur slaves in china DID produce the cotton you are wearing, and they made your smartphone and computer components that you use to bitch about americans

Damn. And here I thought purchasing from US companies would benefit the US workers making those products? Oh. Wait.

FYI, Uyghur salves in China is a myth created by western capitalists, whose power over the global system is fading fast.
