Many have been there and done that. And their productivity and standards of living have fallen far short of capitalistic economies.
Interestingly the video makes a big deal about the fact that people now produce-for-others,"alienating" them from personal happiness and creating lives of burden. I guess all academics, scientists, technologists, engineers, artists, and mathematicians live a life of drudgery and we'd all be better off without them?
Communism is a nice, childlike mental exercise that doesn't work in the real world. A shame...

All that Christianity and Marxism/Communism need to succeed is for homo sapiens sapiens to give up on self-interest.
