The biggest thing that makes communism just completely non-viable is the simultaneous demand for socialism/democracy and internationalism.

Different people just aren't going to agree on social norms and some groups are going to abuse certain things more than other groups. In the past between freedom of association and low levels of migration people could kind of work that out but when you force people to use public services for everything that's completely impossible.

You get one or the other at most. Both at the same time is an immediate non-starter for pretty much everyone.
