While I agree with you, this doesn’t mean that Eastern Europe was communist.

They did attempt to be communist, but they failed like every other attempt will fail. Greed is basic human nature, and those who have it more than others will find a way to abuse the system, get in charge and ruin it.

I’m not arguing your other points, but this isn’t always true. Humans seem to crave respect, not necessarily monetory wealth. If you want you can read more about gift economies.

What did they do to be communist? And what about a society where there is no such thing as ‘in charge’?

How would a society like that work?
