Money is a means of exchange, not division.
You are wrong if you exclude it.
Money is a means of division. Money has become an existantial resource since food can only be bought by money. Any means of trade leads to inequality of money. Inequality of money leads to existantial pressure. Existantial pressure leads to aggressiveness amongst people. Aggressiveness leads to division of people. You see it everday.

BTW that terrible Putin gave to his totally oppressed muzhiks - who loves him through theirs masochistic oriental nateru - 1-12 ha of land. For free. If they manege to cultivate it. And no, there is no communism nor socialism in Russia - its just common sense to broaden and diversify food production.

Ah interesting. This reminds me of the "Siberian Jesus", which is also said to be a communist society living in Siberia independently from the rest of the world, growing their own food etc. But when watching videos it looks like some kind of "Jesus Cult"...

Are people getting tired of freedom?
Because that's the tiny thing people will be giving up in a communism regime.

Remove yourself of money and then let's what freedom you got in this world. I give you a hint: you can do nothing. You can go nowhere (not even use public transport because they cost money). You are nothing (a piece of sh#t for others).
What can you do in communism without money? You can do anything as long as the community doesn't suffer from it. You can go everywhere and without cost in your country (because public transport is free). You are valued as a human being and not measured by money and estates.
Now tell me again of your so called "freedom"...

Communism can be democratic as well. Communism can be done right.

But has it ever been "done right" ?
I say it hasn't, and the whole concept is just a controlled dream.

C'mon? It's like dropping a 3hr YT doco and expecting the internet to go and watch it.
...and take notes.
