People afraid of communism have trouble imagining a world where a "communally owned" consensus and governance system can exist in a way that is not reduced to a dictator. They're also people who argue that cryptocurrency is just a bad database with more steps.

To be fair there aren’t a lot of good examples of where it’s turned out well.

Was there no boss in the examples you were thinking of?

Perhaps I’m not on the same page as you. These are the definitions I am going by: communist governance is centralized and state controlled with one person in charge and community governance is decentralized, locally focused with multiple leaders.

Communism is unrelated to centrally planned economies or totalitarianism, it's a different axis. Communism is collective ownership over the means of production. Or I prefer to think about it as: Who gets the unbounded upside from an investment? In communism, all contributors share in the rewards of unbounded upside.

To contrast, in capitalism, the employee/employer relationship means the employer gets unbounded upside but the employee gets fixed compensation. In family context, imagine being wealthy with a mansion and 10 paid servants catering to you as employees. Now imagine they're family. How is the relationship different?

I was thinking about Communist states and parties whereas it seems you are referring to communism as a stateless, self-administering society based on the Marxist theoretical constructs.
