Communism as a form of government simply doesn't work on a large or small scale.
For a good example read "Animal Farm".
Communism is the dissolution of the state, once all class struggles have ceased. It's the utopian end state. Like a perfect democratic society or a perfect free market, it can never be realized, only strived towards.
Until then we have various degrees of socialism, which works at various degrees of success, just like anything else.
(and er... Orwell.. really? He died as a convinced anarchist/socialist)
Will surely need to see what AROS can do on the board.
Something like this could be immensely cool for AROS, for sure. It kinda suits the spirit of AROS too.
