No you can’t own a platform like youtube or facebook, but you could make content on it, intellectul propriety is not a thing as you don’t have to produce art just to get a monetary return, but just because you enjoy doing so, there’s no need of a stock market in an ideal communist world because everyone gets what they need based on what they can provide, but if it’s just a country i guess it’s the government who takes care of it.

Regarding those 5 countries i’m not sure of every one of them, but talking about China as you said it’s not a communist country but it is not a dictatorship of the proletarian either, as it’s not the proletarian class nor their democratically elected representatives who govern the country.

In the end i’ll add that greed is not more “human nature” that wishing to kill someone annoying.

We didn’t own Reddit’s platform, but we made content and engagement for that community anyway.

That worked out awesome. Let’s scale it up to an entire society.

I really can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. I think so, but Poe’s Law

Yeah, fair. I mean, I’m engaging in the community here, rather than there, so I thought the context clarified my sarcasm.

Give me an example of a communist country that has not resulted in the creation of an authoritarian government.

Capitalism is an authoritarian, both liberal and conservative wants capitalism, the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. You don’t have choices.

You’re not wrong, but also give me an example of ANY country that doesn’t resort to authoritarianism when the government is threatened by a plurality of citizens.

There are plenty of governments out there that aren’t authoritarian. What do you mean when you say “the government is threatened by a plurality of citizens?” What is the nature of the threat in question? A democratically-elected government that puts down an armed rebellion from part of its populace doesn’t magically become authoritarian simply because it used forced to maintain its existence in response to a domestic threat.

…any democracy? Different governments get voted out of power constantly. A lot of countries elections are almost 50/50
