Re "Off the top of your head (without looking at the Internet) please

You keep posting this challenge. We all know what Communist states
were like - and we all know we sure as hell wouldn't want to live
there. If you mean cuddly communism with a small "c" it boils down to
holding goods in common and everyone looking out for each other.
That's all fine and dandy (and even noble) but it only works in small
groups - monastic communities; utopian settlements; artistic communes.
It can't be established in a nation state without bringing into play
the nasty totalitarian urge to control all aspects of life. Ie, no
freedom for the individual.
