And that is true. In the smallest of environments, a commune (the source of the word, "communism") is usually a happily agreed-upon style of living. "We" tried it in the US during the Hippie days and it rarely (in actuality) ever worked. Why? Because human nature, IMHO, tends toward greed. To get MORE than they are entitled to...or to do less than they should to support the community.
