No, it's a facetious response to those who want to experiment with billions of people's lives to replace capitalism which has brought so many people out of poverty and hunger with an unstated system that will most likely resemble communism which will again starve hundreds of millions as it has countless of times.

People can and do operate a commune within a capitalistic society. Go in with other people and buy some land to live off, make a contract to share all property. You can't do the inverse in a communistic society.

But no, we all have to do it or it won't work, because apparently it's only possible at scale and it can't be explained until then. Convenient.

So don't act like you can't go live life in a commune today, you can, just people don't, because capitalistic life is more comfortable.

They'd rather complain online about other people's lives, using their iPhone, drinking Starbucks, thinking about how know best for all more than the great minds that created the society they take for granted.
