people can't grasp the concept of scale.

while communism might seem like a good idea, it can only work in a bounded context — family / small community.

you can't scale a family.

please, for the love of anything that is dear to you, stop people from pushing communism on a large scale. it just doesn't work. we got rid of it 30 years ago and the bad smell still lingers.

you also cannot equate family-level finances with nation-state finances. the same rules do not apply.

I completely agree that comparing family finances to national finances is not applicable. There are many factors and complexities involved that make it a completely different ballgame.
