Scale matters. Let me quote Taleb:

> I am, at the Fed level, libertarian; at the state level, Republican; at the local level, Democrat; and at the family and friends level, a socialist.

What he meant is that while communism works in a family because the incentives are aligned, it doesn't work at society level.
