| Mind telling me how Communism can stay in place without a governing body of any kind?
This is just ignorant of the principles of sociology, for one. Let's assume for a minute that by some miracle that is outside the realm of possibility, a Communist way of life was put into place with absolutely no governing body, and "the people" ran everything.
Not everyone is as good a speaker as the next person, so you would inevitably have cliques of people hording around a select other group of people to have their views heard. Representatives. Then there would be order because nobody could ever fully agree on anything, or if they did, you would have the oppression or seclusion of some other group.. so eventually, some sort of counsel or governing body would be made to make decisions regarding the community. Then there would also be those who would slack off during work, would not go to work, would steal or commit crimes.. so you'd have to form some sort of militia or security control, an authoritative body. But then if you create a penalty system, you will need to create a judicial system to go along with it to prevent people from being made victim to false accusations and/or punished wrongly. And so on…
No matter what you start with, in the end people are going to seek order to a system of total anarchy and either appoint their own leaders, or in the end individual people will seize power.
Go back far enough in history, and try to find a single culture, a single civilization that either 1.) Didn’t appoint leaders or 2.) Wasn’t ravaged by warlords and the like, appointing themselves as leaders. You wont find one because it is impossible.
I’d recommend you read Animal Farm to get a better example of this. If we were saints, we wouldn't need any system to govern us and Communism would be possible, but unfortunately we are only human..
