You can only take responsibility if you also have ownership. Large organizations very quickly become like communist state, nobody own anything and any individual action is suspicious.

In proper function, ownership is an essential identity of any government.

I would love to hear an example of a successful communist state. You can even restrict it to a limited period in time (USSR 1959-1968 or something).

I promise that I will not try to discredit your answer. I'm just curious what people think.

But if you come back with "the communism I have in mind hasn't been tried yet" then I will definitely make fun of your answer.

The end goal of communism is supposed to be the elimination of government - a stateless, classless and functionally anarchist society.

Unsurprisingly no state which ever implemented communism ever took that part seriously.

There's many different communist philosophies.
