> The town is a self-identified social-democratic and cooperative municipality of 2,700 people;[1][2] and has been described as communist for its collectivist economy
>The economic crisis that began in 2008, affected the European Union by 2010, particularly its southern countries. While 30% of the active population in Andalusia was without work, Marinaleda had full employment.
>Gordillo has anointed Marinaleda a "utopia for peace", which has no municipal police (saving $350,000 a year). Additionally, political murals and revolutionary slogans adorn the town's whitewashed walls and streets are named after Latin American leftists. Every few weeks, the town hall declares a Red Sunday over a bullhorn and volunteers clean the streets or do odd jobs

Communism works in a very small scale. I mean, there is more than 2700 people living in the condo I live, so you get an idea how small this municipality is.
A small community like this can be afforded by the society as a whole.
Once you start to think of hundreds of thousands of people, it will break apart very quickly. All you need is a bunch of freeloaders that are willing to abuse the system.
Charles Lee
Cults also exist with zero unemployment. I guess since 2000 people made it work or there are kibbutzes in Israel we should all become communists now... was also zero unemployment in fascism and feudalism.
Charles Price
These fags where the ones that made massive stealing on local and surrounding surrounding their shit town. You can say they were able to survive thanks to capitalists establishments and gibsmedats. If a bunch of criminals and poor farmers is your example of a functioning communist society then I don't want it, thanks.
Blake Stewart
You're not invited anyway
Jack Morales
are you retarded? they're virtually indistinguishable. democratic socialist socialist democrat faggot fagguette
Jack Reed
You have to build a house yourself to live there. They solved the freeloader question with that alone.

>communism doesn't work
REEE communism isn't like going to mcdonald's and ask for a meal. It takes times, generations even. Like only recently comrade Xi, at the chinese communist party convention said only in 2050 China will be fully developped to shift for socialism. China has been following Marx's teachings brilliantly, we should not forget that hey were a feudal country in 1949! Marx always said in his day thay the UK and Germany where the beat nations for a socialist revolution. China needs capitalism in order to generate development and create the very much needed infrastructure. But China would have never got this far if it wasn't for comrade Mao who wiped out the useless fags from society. No society can function while it carries so many leeches. Now they are united and have internalized that everyone must give their best, so they can pass a better country to the following generation. They will eventually reach communism.
Lucas Edwards
Friendly reminder that the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project is the only historical example of true socialism.

>Marinaleda >not a corrupt shithole living out of guvment bux Are you even spanish or just retarded?
Easton Hughes
This. Even if you have these small communes that kind of work (meaning they don't implode in a couple of months) there's always some outside force helping them. It can be local government and law enforcement refusing to enforce existing laws (for example on squatting) up to political parties or organizations financing them or outright paying their bills.
Josiah Ward
Congratulations, you have a small, isolated town with absolutely now impact on the economy.How does this disprove the Soviet Union or China under Mao?
Austin Murphy
Literally a child mentality
Camden Nguyen
By that logic you could call a national socialist a socialist.
Alexander Bell
Communism only works with small populations of people. Monitoring, censoring, stability and etc. can be easily managed with a population of 2,700 people.
Mason Bailey
>Communism only works with small populations of people Well why not have a society made up of lots of these small groups
Caleb Russell
No it can't, maybe with a FEW DOZEN people, but not in the thousands.
Robert Reyes
>No society can function while it carries so many leeches.
One of the reasons why Communism will always end up with totalitarian societies.
Stupid people that believe such can be created with culture alone like you always forget that every culture always give rise to a counterculture.
Jack Davis
you mean the guys who nationalized industry, advocated for welfare and wage/price controls? those totally-not-socialists-because-they-hated-marxists? fucking commies

Easton Carter
Because those groups are always a net negative for society. Someone has to pay the cost for their socialist paradise.
Socialist solution to this is forced labor, state control, and similar nasty things that force the negative costs onto someone.
Jackson King
>2,700 people there your reason
Cooper Taylor
They had state-run companies and what companies were left "independent" were heavily regulated and controled by the state as to basically not be independent in any real sense. That is closer to socialism and central planning than capitalism. Fascism has always been an outgrowth of classic socialism. Hence Mussolini was a lifelong socialist. Sorry, faggot.
Wyatt Diaz
So communism works?
Daniel Gonzalez
lmao none of the "private" businesses were independent. they did what Hitler told them to. they weren't private. they were state-corporatist.
Adrian Davis
>Socialist solution to this is forced labor, state control, and similar nasty things that force the negative costs onto someone. As opposed to the Capitalist solution: convict labor, state enforcement of private property by force, and ignoring negative externalities of large capital producers by accounting fraud, i.e. dumping mercury into the river, burning coal, etc. Eat a monkey dick, huehueporky
Michael Barnes
>to basically not be independent in any real sense. Except porky still got his dividends without so much as lifting an ass cheek. Your argument is that this doesn't count because porky's factory was making guns for the Wehrmacht.

Every time the state is involved, it is not capitalism. Sorry. It's always communists trying to show capitalism the way.

no its isolated town not the entire world (like marx wants) , communism is globalism , that is why they fought against every nationalist organisation (including zionist) , and that is the problem that town is not communist , its closer to nazbol
