perfect examples of this are the Quakers, Shakers, & Amish...
The reason why there aren't many groups like this isn't because of the system... it's because of the people.
In time individuals become curious of the outside environment.
So sooner or later... they give into the basic human pleasures provided by the capitalists...
so it's not the system that's at fault... it's baiscally the individual.

Did you know that long before Lenin Communism was tried on another continent? Guess where. Yup, in North America. The very first year on the New Continent, the settlers tried to live as a comune. They nearly starved that winter as human nature is not designed to toil without personal profit or incentive, and true to human nature, each person expected the other to pull the majority of the weight. I found that little tid-bit of info quite interesting!

where the u.s. took down revolutionaries (sandinistas) in nicaragua by using the cia to train counter-revolutionaries on the side of the dictator (somoza), even though it was prohibited by the boland amendment...
and to make it even worse... they obtained the money to do all this by selling arms to iranian rebels that took americans as hostages.
all thanks to reagan.
people before profits
